Now a few weeks later it happens again. I again used the restore function and I can see the folders back on the server but I don't see the .epub files in the folders. Also calibre doesn't show the books. I generated a .db file so I could might use this to restore the books. There are now 2 priorities for me:

1. Getting my old books back.
2. Preventing this in the future from happening.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
You need to read this ==>> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a server/NAS/Networked Drive

Bottom line is, if you put your library on a server of some sort it may work and it may not, and even if it works it may fail at some future point in time.

From your backup

Don't put your live library on a server, for backup its fine.
