I use Luckybackup with rsync on a Linux machine, and in theory the metadata.db in the live directory is always the same age or newer than the file in the backup. So that should work.
Now say, I made a mistake and changed the database in the backup tree. Now this metadata.db is newer and gets copied over the live one. Will it bring the pathnames of the backup with it and overwrite the pathnames in the live database? Thatwould explain a lot.

I guess the obvious question is do you even want these backup copies of the library to even be visible in Calibre in the first place?
If not the simple solution is to use the Remove Library option from within Calibre. This does not actually touch the library files on disk - all it does is remove the link to that library from the Calibre GUI. As was mentioned the current library is not shown on that list so you cannot accidentally remove the pointer to the current library.
If you DO want these copies to be visible from within Calibre then you should give them different names.
