But that's just the thing: I can't get Calibre "pointed at" the directory in the first place so that it can then run Restore Database over it. Or is there some way to do what you're saying without Calibre being able to recognize the folder as what it calls a "calibre library"??

Right now, all I know is to click the big Calibre Library icon on top...which isn't working now 'cause of those missing db files I guess.
