Ideally, I'd have something that just does the deltas.
The other rub is that my house is multi-platform, so my main library lives on a Linux laptop, but I've also got a Windows HTPC that serves as a media center (and hence backup #1 for all my stuff), in addition to other external hard-drives for secondary and tertiary backups.
So from Linux -> thumb-drive or Linux -> backup HDD, I can do something like an rsync,
and perhaps from thumb-drive -> Windows HTPC could be SyncToy,
But ideally it would be nice if I could just have my primary Calibre library exported to a thumb-drive, and from there use a built-in option to "sync" the Calibre libraries between source and destination until they're all in sync.

FreeFileSync works on Windows, Mac and Linux afaik.
Mind, 2-way syncs don't work because then your database probably won't match your library folder.
That said, why not setup SMB shares or something so you can do direct mirrors from Linux to Windows without going through intermediaries?
