I have a daily and a weekly backup of my calibre config dir, and also do a manual backup (using the plugin option) when doing tests here.
The good thing is that the plugin only updates the current year, so past years tend to be safe (unless manually editing the JSON). And the current year can regenerate itself, in case of errors like the last one (all books with the same date).

The message only tell you how many NEW books were added. If you try to add books already present in the DB, it will tell you no book was added. But they will be updated.
Just tested here. My 2022's books were using my 'tags' column. Changed my config to use '#genre'. Then I selected all my 2022's and added them again. Got a message that no book was added. But they were all updated and use the '#genre' tag now.
P.S.: Removing didn't work? How did you remove them? Using the main menu action only work for the current year. For past years, you need to use the 'Edit reading goal' dialog remove option.
