That message says that *something* is trying to read metadata.db at the same time that calibre is using it. If E: is a network shared drive or a folder synced by Dropbox, Onedrive etc; then copy that folder to a local drive and try again.

The same thing can happen if you are using an aggressive antivirus. In this case try turning it off for the duration of the restore.
