I would suggest creating a new directory for the library using your OS tools. Then go into calibre, use the Switch/create library, browse to the location of the new directory you created and then selecting Create an empty library at the new location with Copy structure from the current library checked.

For me, I keep my calibre libraries in a directory called calibre in my Windows user directory. Inside the directory are the three calibre libraries I currently use (Intake for incoming books where their metadata, format conversions, error checking, etc. take place, Main where my ebooks wind up and one named after my wife where her ebooks wind up (for some odd reason, I seem to be the designated downloader and fixer-upper of her ebooks ).
