@chaot - If you want to force a rewrite of all the opf's use the '--all' switch. Without it the backup-metadata sub-command only backs up books that whose metadata is flagged as 'backup needed' (aka known as 'dirty').

BTW on what media is your library located. IIRC I ran the "backup-metadata --all' option on a 50,000+ book library a few months ago and it took a couple of minutes.

My library (metadata.db and books) is on a regular WD Black Caviar SATA 2 drive. There would not have been much else happening on the drive at the time. The drive is compressed, indexed and under AV watch - opfs are indexed by the MS XML IFilter.
