FWIW The Calibre DB is in lockstep with the Library files and folders. Break the cadence (net/cache delays) and the garbage builds up.

Freefilesync Takes about 2 min to scan for changes and another min to do the copy phase (drive on local wired LAN)
FreeFilesync is fine for making a backup copy. Not so much if you need to use your library (i.e. edit books and metadata) on two different computers. But yes, of course you need to stop syncing while Calibre is in use.
