If you continue to work with your library on more than one computer, you will mess it up again, no matter how careful you are. A calibre library is not meant to be multi-user/multi-device. It's meant to be used locally on one device, not over a network of devices.

I've used my library on multiple computers in the past, and even with syncing paused, errors always crept in at some point. It just doesn't work in the long run.
