CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH - allows you to specify the full path to metadata.db. Using this variable you can have metadata.db be in a location other than the library folder. Useful if your library folder is on a networked drive that does not support file locking. |
- forgot about that one.
But no matter how its done, if the database is disjoint from the library then it must be considered when doing backups and restores of calibre library folders. EnvVars and SymLinks are not silver bullets, nor are they sprinkled with fairy dust to make them everlasting
