The OP is well aware of the issue with Google Drive, as has been expressed. There is nothing wrong with using Google Drive as an additional backup for redundancy purposes. The main library will not be corrupted, and there are other backups.

And if worst comes to worst and the Google Drive backup must be used, he will simply import from the save. All metadata will be safe (that is the important thing, besides not losing the ebooks themselves to oblivion), and it is no different from running Restore Database.

Constantly rezipping the library in order to put it on Google Drive would take far more effort than it is worth for a redundant backup.

And for the sake of redundancy -- this is a redundant backup anyway.
