You might want to try the backup feature that is built right into calibre.
I'm running an older version of calibre, 2.85.1, but assume something similar is in 3.xx.

Right-click on your calibre library icon and select "Export/Import all calibre data". The following information appears:

"You can export all calibre data, including your books, settings and plugins into a single directory. Then, you can use the tool to re-import all that data into a different calibre install, for example, in another computer.

This is a simple way to move your calibre installation with all its data to a new computer, or to replicate your current setup on a second computer."



EDIT: I tried this and it did NOT work. I do NOT recommend that you try it.
