Thanks for diagnosis (though there is no sign that it is backup'ing besides HDD activity, unfortunately) and suggestion provided, Kovid!
Then it has been as I suspected, Calibre WILL eventually do the backup. It was INDEED a serious, unforgivable mistake to request a backup for a NAS library with 43520 books!
Yes, sir, I will backup the library (due its value it is often synched) and work in the copy, then backup it again!
As your smart suggestion of setting the env CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH variable, I wonder if it would be possible to change machinery so that it works on ONE certain library only.
