then even if your entire PC goes up in flames, you still have that library ! |
Google drive is not a good backup for Calibre. That said, it can be rebuild from. (spoken from experience.)
Has anyone had luck with One Drive? My Copy.com backup is pretty full. I know Dropbox is the best for Calibre, but frankly, it is way too expensive.
The rebuild ran for about 2 days. But I got most of it back and was fortunate that a lot of the ones where the metadata didn't return were still on FFnet or wherever I got them from.
I've used SyncToy at work, I didn't realize it was a free program. It seems to work well. But it says it doesn't always work on Windows 8, so I've downloaded FreeFileSync. I will give it a go. I normally just back up by date, this will be much easier.
