Hmmm... you were the first person to post to this thread in over 4 years since April, 2010 so I'd say Calibre's library structure is not a big deal for all but a vanishingly small number.
And yes, I keep multiple copies of my ebook library. One is in Calibre's library, two more are on a local USB drive (Caliber Save to Disk) and the other is in the cloud again using Save to Disk to the cloud storage. Then there are the data backups and the bare metal disaster recovery backups of the whole setup. I've been using computers too long to believe that you can ever have too many backups (going back to using a Tarbell cassette interface for backups). And yes, I keep backups off site just in case.
Do you object to how Windows, OS X, Linux, whatever force you to store your files as well? Inquiring minds are eager to know.
