Since most of books come from sites such as Kobo or Amazon, I remove the books after adding them to calibre. calibre stores the deDRMmed copies which I back up.

some other routine?

For my content server, I exit calibre on my laptop, stop the service on the server, sync the calibre library from my laptop to the server and then restart the service. This has not yet required repairing the database since that is only needed when something goes very wrong such as manual deletion of files from a calibre library.
Basically treat your calibre library as a black box and only make changes from calibre GUI or command line (advanced users). Do not use the OS tools to make changes since the database will not be aware of those changes.
For my other devices, I use the web interface offered by the content server to download books.
