Especially because the most obvious file to be renamed and replaced with an older copy, will be the database.

I mostly use my laptop so I just moved my Calibre Library from Dropbox back to the laptop. I then backed up my Calibre Library to a folder on Dropbox. That should work out OK. I did find 5 old conflicted copy files in the folder so I figured I better just be safe.
Thanks for your help.
