Just a reader with a growing inventory of great books.
Use Calibre on my OSX and read through Kindle on my Android One Plus One phone, which has a very large screen.

Thinking it might be time to have a good plug in that allows me to quickly back up all of my library to the Cloud or even just to an external drive.

Can someone please tell me which one would be my best bet or if there are a few good ones, which ones they are?

Lastly, as a reader only, so far, are there any other plug ins that someone like myself might find extremely useful if made aware of it?


T.I.A.
a Plugin is not needed (and probably, not wanted due to file locking issues)

Any cloud backup software should do...Just remember a few things:
ALWAYS PAUSE this (for the Calibre folders) while you are running Calibre (GUI)
Backup (Shadow) only advised. 2-way sync can mix old and new files, making a hash of it
Do Not use Google Drive as it uses a folder versioning that clashes with calibe
remember to Backup the Calibre configuration folder as well. It contains customization and user plugins
