Hello from Croatia.

So, my father recently formatted his PC and installed a new Windows, drivers and everything...the PC was almost non possible to use due of years and years of non maintenance.

Now is everything OK. I restored all the backup data, applications and other stuff.

At the end he asked me where are my books, articles and documents. More then 1000 he say...

Never heard about the Calibre app before. Didn't know anything about till now ... for what is used and how it works.

Can you help me how to restore the link to his library?

My father and his friend who formatted the PC didn't find and folder with the books on the C: disc so they proceeded with the formatting thinking that Calibre is just an viewer APP connected to some server on the internet for uploaded books.
How can i restore the old database? Must be some way...

Thanks in advance !
