I have kept my Calibre library in a folder that is synced to OneDrive for the past couple of years.

Is there a safe way to backup my Calibre library to Google Drive? If I use the Google Drive app to sync the Calibre folder from my computer will that corrupt it?
Scrivener has a system that will allow you to backup a zipped file. Would a zip file be less susceptible to corruption? Is there a way to set that up with Calibre?

Even if you make a copy of your library to sync with Google Drive, the copy on Google Drive will become corrupt. It's because of the numbers in parenthesis. Google dries takes them as version numbers. If the library then syncs back to the computer, the copy of your library will become corrupt.
