Hello all,

I'm using Ubuntu on my laptop and I upgraded my system to find Calibre was no longer installed. I want to know the best way to recover the library and transfer the files to a backup or another computer. I've backed up my library before, but only using the tools inside Calibre; sadly, I didnt think to do so before upgrading this time.

If I re-install Calibre, is it easy to point the app to the old library location and recover it (without overwriting anything) ?

If I want to move the Calibre Main Library folder, do I have to move all the contents (all the authors ?) I have a big collection and I would be happy to transfer only a couple of books into my other computer for now. I guess I could just move the epubs themselves if I don't mind losing metadata ?

Thanks for reading, this is my first post on this forum so tell me if I've done something wrong !
