I'll assume I did something funky, which I think was restoring some books from a cloud based backup I have of my books. I believe that is where all the duplicates came from on my hard drive. Sorry for taking some of your time If I was the cause ( I did not realize this!).

If a network share is not a good thing, and a cloud based backup is also not good....how are you guys handling backup and convenience?

Thanks

Backing up on anything other than Google drive is fine. GD plays with the file name in a way that messes with the linkage to the DB.

Any 2 way Sync needs to be suspended (calibre Library folder) while Calibre is running
