Wouldn't this be the same as your rsync script comment??

I use rsync on linux -- though Windows tools like FreeFileSync would work as well -- to create a one-way "mirror" copy of my Calibre Libraries folder. The mirror copy goes in Dropbox, and the main libraries folder remains canonical no matter what.
Then Dropbox syncs the mirror, and if it becomes unhappy and eats my library in edit clashes, the
synced backup is overwritten anyway.
A complete backup regime is actually more complicated, because it involves a
rotating snapshots hardlinked setup à la Apple Time Machine, but this is the simple version.
