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.
The OPF type backup status is the first item on the Library Maintenance menu
