Unhappy Books gone after update????

Okay, so I wanted to add some books to Calibre, as per usual when I open the programme I get the new version available pop-up. Now I don't always update right away, but it's been a couple months maybe since I last updated so I decide to.

I click open calibre after it finished and all my books are gone. The library is totally empty. Over 400 books. So before I go through the hassle of re-adding them individually, and updating all that metadata... I thought I'd ask.
Is there any way to restore my library?

Lucky for me, I have a backup file on one drive as I was sorting books into separate files and didn't want to delete anything until I was done, otherwise I'd be extremely upset.

I am using an Acer laptop running Windows 8.1 with all updates current. I have been using calibre for years and this is the first time I've ever had this happen after an update, it concerns me that I can lose my entire library in the blink of an eye.
