Even if you let Calibre convert (needed) books on the fly, a Batch that includes thos, still only sends the metadata file ONCE.
note: 2K books is going to have a HUGE metadata.calibe to re-write (this is an XML file, so the whole thing gets redone)
I just had to restore a 8G SD card (~4G used) from the backup on my HD. almost 5 times as long to restore, as it was to back it up (and that was using the local card reader)

It is not about CAN you do it. But SHOULD you do it. I did not read 1% last year (and I got a lot of reading done ) of the number of books you are transferring.
