It depends on what you want to do. On the rare times I need to do it, I just find the last good backup of the database and replace the corrupt database with it. After ejecting the device I restart it.

I occasionally backup everything. That is mainly when testing something so I can repeat it or get back to the starting point when I am finished. If I restore that, then I delete everything from the books partition and copy the backed up files to the device. And again, restart the device when it is ejected. I do that quickly to avoid it trying to import all the books.
