Hoping he had his ebook files saved elsewhere *fingers crossed*
2 things that typically mess things bad:
1) The user did a 'bulk' operation (MDE in bullk mode, Delete All x)

2) Sync software not paused or restoring the wrong files from backups. metadata.db is lock-stepped to the folders in a particular Libraries contents for a Date and time.

A structurally damaged DB usually announces itself. Those are usually caused by the machine losing power or locking up while Calibre was working
