With help from this group I learned many months ago how to backup and also export my Calibre library but had never again gone through the queue step. I have found it helpful to use Library Maintenance to check the files. It found a few errors that I was able to correct.

Learning the reason for the Library Maintenance options or whether to use them is a bit clearer now. Thanks.
