Thanks! That's super helpful.

I copied the metadata.db folder from my backup onto my old computer, and now the columns (and the data) are back on my old Calibre. Which is very reassuring! But once I opened my new Calibre and went to add books from the cloud (the cloud automatically copied them onto my new computer, so I just went to add books and picked the local folder where my books were located), they are gone again.

Is there a better way to copy everything over from my old computer?

I saw something somewhere about exporting data, is that what I should be doing instead of just copying the folder from one computer to the next?

I also tried copying on the metadata folder directly to my new computer, but that didn't do anything.

Thanks again!
