Yes. That is not the issue.

Where is the library, on a local disk or a network drive of some sort - i.e. a server, a NAS, a Cloud provider?

The library is on an external hard drive. A Western Digital My Passport.

Did the message at the end have any warnings? Example:
Code:
calibre, version 6.7.1
WARNING: Success: Restoring the database succeeded with some warnings click "Show details" to see the details. The old database was saved as: D:\Calibre\Libraries\CopyTest\metadata_pre_restore.db
The following custom columns have conflicting definitions and were not fully restored:
#float
used: Float, float, False, {'number_format': '{0:,.5f}', 'description': '', 'decimals': 5}
other: Float, float, False, {'description': '', 'number_format': None}
other: Float, float, False, {'number_format': '{0:,.5f}', 'description': ''}

Yes, it gave me exactly that "WARNING: Success: Restoring the database succeeded with some warnings click "Show details" to see the details." message.
When I click "Okay" it then immediately pops up the "Database is corrupted" message again and reruns database restore, where I again get "WARNING: Success: Restoring the database succeeded with some warnings click "Show details" to see the details" click "Okay" and then immediately "Database is corrupted" pops up again. I've run it something like seven times today already.
I'm wondering if there is a way to delete all the database files and make Calibre think the Calibre folder is a new library.
