Please let me know if I'm in the wrong forum as it has been a while since I have visited.

I have all the links and instructions on how to do this but still I have mucked it up somehow. This is what I did.

I was trying to import my Calibre Library from my old computer to a new computer. I first of all put all my Documents Library from my old computer to an external hard drive. Then I transferred all my Documents Library to the new computer.

Now that I knew all the data was on my new computer, I went ahead and downloaded Calibre on my new computer. Once downloaded, I right clicked 'Calibre Library' on the toolbar at the top of the screen and chose 'Export/Import all Calibre data. I then clicked 'Import previously exported data' & then 'Choose folder.' I then selected the 'Calibre Library' that was on my D Drive and got the following message below.

"Importing calibre data means all libraries, settings, plug-ins, etc. will be imported. This is a security risk only proceed if the data you are importing was previously generated by you, using the calibre export functionality."

Then if I click Yes, I get the error not valid message: The folder D:\Documents\Calibre Library is not valid: No exported data found in D:\My Documents\Calibre Library.

Then, to my horror, when I went back to my old my old computer, my whole library has disappeared from that. What could I have done and how do I restore my original library to my old computer? Then, how do I export that library to my new computer?

I really hope have not lost all my library in the old computer by doing something silly. The thing is, I still have all those books in folders within a folder in the D:\Documents\Calibre Library in my main, Documents Library. So, how could I have lost them?

If all is lost, can I do a backup and restore to recover them?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
