Or should I just be more careful not to somehow ruin the database file or the library folder in any way?
The database (db) file MUST match the contents of the Library Folder.
As eschwartz said: BACKUP the whole folder.

Better yet: Use Export/Import All Calibre data. (On the Library Icon). This backs up your USER settings, as well as the Library (books & metadata).
