I would NOT try and merge a Broken (this bad), Library with a backup.
Move (rename the Top Library folder: ( From Calibre Library -> BrokenLibrary),
now restore the entire Backup (Calibre Library Folder)
Then use Add Books: Add from Folders and Sub Folders
 Set Adding Books:Control...: Adding Actions (a tab) : Auto Merge to what you prefer BEFORE adding from the damaged Library. |
Thank you. I did what you suggested and the older books are all showing now. I've added (carefully) from books I know were there in the broken library and just re-added from non-Calibre files where I needed to. I'm sure I'm missing some books yet but I can add them as I go.
I really appreciate your help with this! Thank you again.
