How do I backup calibre? How do I use purchased EPUB books with calibre (or what do I do with .acsm files)?; I am getting a “Permission Denied” error? Can I ...

The link opens a page about Ebook conversion. No matter how I phased the search for backing up Calibre, this is what I would get.

Thanks again for your help!
Yeah, searching the online calibre manual isn't the best thing since sliced bread. For me it always returns more hits in German than English. I think it's part of the Python ecosystem, hence outside of Kovid's control. But at least there is a manual, that gets updated in line with the releases.

tip 1: - for the online version use one word searches e.g. 'backup'
tip 2: - download a PDF, AZW3 or EPUB version and use the search in the appropriate reader. The links for those are on the first page of the manual.
