Thank you very much for your detailed reply, BetterRed!

Yes, I already use a powerful synch tool (Beyond Compare) for the very same goals you are describing. And yes, I also maintain a mirror copy of the library on an external HD.

Still not quite clear to me… Is the folder with the data stored in it via Calibre’s export feature good and safe enough to be uploaded to and updated on a cloud to be used as a reliable backup source in case of crisis?

Many thanks!
