So I thought my library DB was being backed up but of course now that the disk crashed, its missing from the backup. The books are all on the NAS and I shared the DB file amongst 3 computers.

While I am doing the recovery I was going do the rebuild of the DB on one of the other computers that has Calibre. When I start up it asks me for a directory to put a new db. I gave it an empty directory but it just shuts down. Tried this twice. Can't get it to start up.

I am guessing there is some settings file I need to edit somewhere?
