My hard drive died and had to be replaced. In preparation for this I exported my library to an external drive. However, when trying to import from that file I get the following error:
G:\\calibre may 31 2020 is not valid:[Errno 22] invalid mode ('rb') or filename: u' G:\\calibre may 31 2020\\part-0025.calibre-data'

So I tried copying the files to another folder on my D drive, and while doing that I got 'unknown error' on part-0025, part-0026, and part-0031. It wouldn't copy those files so I skipped them. However, then calibre would not import the files because those were missing.

I have almost 7000 books in calibre, and recreating my library will be near to impossible. What can I do? Am I just SOL?
