On your Kobo, tap on More => Settings => Device information. You should see a Software version partway down the page. Current for a Glo HD would be 4.38.23171 (6b370fffff, 10/29/24).

If you try to force the Reading progress to be copied to calibre from the Store/Restore bookmarks option, does it work?

That would only be needed if your Glo HD was updated to a newer firmware version that calibre did not know about.

IMNSHO, backing up the device database is a very good idea. The best way not to need a backup is to have one.

I'm attaching images of my Kobo Utilities customization for Profiles and Devices pages.
