Am I so far right?
It's entirely safe to back up your Calibre library to a Cloud drive (or anywhere else) provided that Calibre isn't actually running at the time you make the backup.

What's not safe is to use a Cloud drive to host your Calibre library - ie to run Calibre with its library in the Cloud.
