I hear you with that (windows not to be trusted) I restored another computer from a backup and my Calibre Library never recovered. I lost so many books because they couldn't be matched with what Calibre knew- I am guessing the temporary files Calibre or the Calibre Cache or something that isn't too obvious made me unable to open a lot of books -- apparently Calibre couldn't "locate" them.

I was able to move the library's and attach them to Calibre Portable (hence why I have so many library's)

I guess if I were trying to simply save the files/folders it wouldn't be too hard.

I should just do a clean library export each day of a single library I can attach to saved folders.
