You seem to be asking if anyone has done what you've already half-done. Have you looked in the Related Tools subforum - there's a 'useful threads' sticky at the top.

I was asking if there was a specific way within Calibre to save essentially a backup copy of the "Calibre Library" folder, but with JUST the covers, and not the ebooks.
The answer to what I was asking was "no, you need to use robocopy, rsync, or similar utility".
Basically I was asking if there was some sort of inbuilt function to achieve the same result.
(There wasn't)
The rest was just many people misunderstanding what I was trying to do.
Basically I could have copied the entire 'Calibre Library' folder to a webserver and it would work, but I did not want to include the actual ebook files (piracy, etc).
My end goal is a single file script you drop on a server with the metadata.db and (a bash or batch script to copy the covers sans ebooks, but maintaining the dir structure).
I'm also going to be including in a config ini file the option to not even include the covers, which is working right now. At which point it's drop the config ini, php file, and database in a web accessible folder, and you're good to go.
