I am a Linux Ubuntu PRS-505 user and I mostly use calibre for some months now.

I had once to do a soft reset and I lost some meta-tags, collections and bookmarks though I lost no book.

The result was two or three hours to put things back in order.
I thought a little about it.
First, I decided to stop my PRS-505 once a day (before I was always in stand-by mode).

Then, I wonder if there are some maintenance operations I could perform. I was thinking of some kind of fsck (this is Linux).

And I think I could use rsync once in a while to backup my books.

Has somebody some experience about maintenance and backup ot a PRS-505 content ?
