You do need more storage to do what it is you want. So why not just give in and do it so it works?
Your suggestion does not work, because, as you write, it requires more storage than I have.
Again, I'd like to do a partial backup. Let's say I export 10GB of titles at time. Once the first 10GB of data is safely backed up in the cloud, I can delete those titles from my calibre library and then move on the the next batch. How can I do such a partial backup while keeping all metadata.
