One thing that comes to mind, I've always used the same username on all my computers and tablets. Possibly using a different name would break something. No idea, as I have no IT background.

I suspect that this may be due to differences between the file systems on Windows, Linux and MacOS and quite probably due to the case sensitivity differences between the OS. Within Windows, the user name can be an issue.
As for the people I was mentioning, there have been issues with trying to set up the backup for both library and configuration. And yes, I'm talking about people whose eyes glaze over when mentioning using a batch file to do the backup or trying to explain why they were unable to update their 32 bit version of calibre past 5.44 since the heart of calibre is QT and QT no longer supports 32 bit OS.
