I have my library saved on a couple of external hard drives so no worries there.
One thing I'm not sure about is the books already in my library:
When I use the 'Export/Import' function to transfer all data which will include all books, I guess I should delete all the books that are already in my library first as all the same books will be imported again?
There's different ways of installing Calibre onto a new computer and transferring all books/plugins etc.
The way I tried it the first time, the path for the library on the new laptop was different which messed things up when I added the data from the 'Configuration Directory'.
I just need to know if I should delete everything in the Library first (which I think I should, but who knows, perhaps I don't have to?) and then I can go ahead and delete all data in 'Configuration Directory', start Calibre where I should get the 'Welcome Wizard' and then install all books/plugins using the 'Export/Import' function.
