Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 130, in run
File "site-packages\calibre\db\restore.py", line 283, in replace_db
WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: u'F:\\calibreE\\metadata.db'

I am going to try and make this shared, then connect a laptop running a newer update of calibre and see if that can restore (perhaps the serve has a hickup? a conflict for accessing the metadata.db file? (server is runing windows 7 and I know calibre no longer updates on it, (I can not update to a different OS because this machine has backups on it running ecc ram a actual server with xeon processor is their a commandline to limit threads and or rebuild the metadata file? clearly a python write error (my library is quite large, but I have had bigger) any suggestions would be quite welcome (I am building a new library on a different drive and will try to get the laptop to load this library and then move, books into the new library ,,but that will take me some weeks a faster smarter solution would be awesome (I am stuck home from work on cancer treatment and this is really annoying me)
