G: is a local external disk
I have 2 libraries :
- a big one with ebooks (format : epubs) on internal disk D:
- a smaller one with audiobooks (format : zip or MP3) on local external disk G. It is this one which is corrupted.
I've processed the restoration of the audiobooks library. Using cmd, I entered the following command :
Code:
calibredb restore_database -r [g:\XXX\]
I've added [g:\XXX\] because I was unable to access to the library folder on G: with the command "cd g:"
Everytime, I got "g:" but immediately I came back to : "c:\users\***" !
The process was launched and runned for hours and...the final result is deceiving : the audiobooks' database in G : remains corrupted ! :-(
In addition, it appears that the restoration has been done not only for audiobooks, but for both libraries - ebooks and audiobooks.
The final message at the end of the process was :

Restoring database succeeded, old database file saved as: metadata_pre_restore.db, this is saved in ....

I found 2 "metadata_pre_restore.db" files
- the first one in the ebooks library on D:
- the second one in the audiobooks library on G:
Maybe the command I used is not appropriate...
