I didn't know how to do that. It's a bit late, but not terrible. I had backed up the books about a week ago by manually coping them from the Kobo to a directory on my computer. I would still like to know how to do that with Kobo: I had effectively been using Calibre *as* the backup.

If not, you'll have ti log out of your Kobo and log back in. That will recreate the database. You will lose everything on your Kobo and you'll have to put all of the eBooks back on. Before you do that, you can copy all of the eBooks to your computer and once the database is fixed, you can copy them back and then once the eBooks are populated in the database, you can plug your Kobo into the computer with Calibre running to fix your collections/series/metadata.

Do you mean log in while connected to Kobo Desktop?
So I tried that. I logged into Desktop, connected the Kobo, synced it, logged out. I'm still getting the same error. Also very few books disappeared.
Some poking showed me the error: I had to log out on the Kobo itself. So far the problem seems to be fixed, but there's a decent chance I lost some covers or even a few entire books. I made a manual list (ow, my wrist) of all the books on the Kobo so I'll go through the list and resend any missing books.
