Improving my Calibre "flow" : adding books, backing...

Hello,

I'm still a newbie with Calibre and I'm exploring some ways to improve my "flow": adding books, backing, and synchronizing, accessing from mobile...

Adding books

"Automatic adding" seems fine to me. You create an empty folder just for this purpose. You put every new eBook in it, so it'll be automatically added to the library and deleted from the folder.

Better options?

Backing

The trickiest part for me right now... If I understood correctly, OneDrive may corrupt the library when Calibre is open. So, either:
  • I pause OneDrive while Calibre is open (boring).
  • I create a copy of my library in OneDrive (I'm not sure how to do that). But I suppose it would require making a new backup every time I add a book? (super-boring)

Accessing from mobile devices

I guess Calibre Companion works well with OneDrive, even if I didn't try yet.

Installing Calibre on a new computer

Finally, if my computer crashes, is it possible to install Calibre on a new computer with the same settings and customizations. If so, how to do it ?

Thank you all
