I would like to keep all my calibre data in one directory, but I don't want calibre trying to import my kobo database backups as if they're books or modifying them.
Thank you for the advice in advance.

. (dot) folder / files are not Hidden on windows
AFAIK Check Library is giving you a warning only. You just need to remember to not
FIX that
Something to think about
: Multiple Libraries on the same computer
My Kobo sometimes gets books from a different one
Also, in my configuration case: I also keep backups of the firmware for my Aura2 and my Libra2 . They are not the same.
Sinc I also want both Kobo backup BACKED UP, I put them (Kobo/devicetype folders) in normally backed up user folders
