This was made using the Export function. I have used the Import function to unpack it, which it did (all the books + the db), but then was told Calibre couldn't create the library at the chosen location, and to choose another one.
Which I did - I have put this on my desktop (now OneDrive has been deactivated!) and in Documents.
I do store the backups on a NAS, but it's only used by my and Hubs, and he doesn't use Calibre, so it's pretty safe.
Just flummoxed!
Original setup is still on my Windows7-running laptop, which I wish was still supported.
How long would you expect the Restore function to take for a db of 16,000'ish books?
