I use Linux but I am not great at it. I prefer manually backing things up at this point due to comfort level. Every time I have tried to automate or use some tools things go wrong (most probably my fault) but it's made me jittery, especially with backups since those are the safety valve if I screw something up so I need them to be NOT screwed up.
That said would copying over the entire Calibre Library then be the only safe option given what you guys said above? I was thinking that taking the entire author folder for any new or changed books would be ok since the title numbers etc are inside that...and the new .db would match everything changed right? I checked and there are not any hidden directories or files inside the Calibre Library directory. Basically I'd be making the old backup look exactly like the new on on the computer but manually...in my mind this is exactly what a sync tool would do but my mind has been known to be wrong. Is this still stupid?
