They didn't find anything like classic folder to save and cause of that didn't made any backup.

I'll learn him now to make occasionally some backup ...
The problem is that more than 1000 books seems to be lost forever
Not True . with default settings, it stores the books in plain sight in a folder called calibre library inside of My documents

anyone who bothered to look before formatting woudl have seen that, any anyone who formatted someone else's PC without backing up all of My Documents is a moron.
why do you think its called "My Documents"
same goes for My Music, My pictures, My Videos

those four folders are where windows expects personal stuff to be stored and where well written apps put stuff

I guess you helpfully destroyed all of those also

& if you think replacing previously purchased books is hard, try replacing lost personal photos !
