On the desktop there is also a file called metadata_db_prefs_backup.json.

In addition, here are two error files generated by Calibre in the course of my attempts.

calibre, version 2.36.0
ERROR: Failed: Restoring database failed, click Show details to see details

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 125, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 276, in replace_db
File "shutil.py", line 83, in copyfile
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'C:\\Users\\USER\\Documents\\Calibre Library\\metadata_pre_restore.db'
Your login name is USER (or was your Login renamed. Windows leaves the user folder with the original name).

You have some sort of permissions problem with the New Library
Did you copy the backup from a CD? Those always become read only. Change the folder+all sub folders to remove the Read Only tick
