I dont see how the database could be corrupt immediately after a restore again, it's likely something else is going on try running calibre like this


calibre-debug -g


from a command prompt that should give us more information about the error.

And f you just want create a new library and re-import the books, you can simply rename the calibre library folder, then on next start calibre will create a new empty one, then right click the add books button and choose add from folders and sub-folders->one book per folder and pick the old calibre library folder. You library will be recreated with all basic metadata but no custom columns. If you want custom column metadata as well, first re-create the custom columns in the new library before using add books.
