I copied the only reference I saw to DRIVE-POOL on the calibre server here:
I am new to drivepool, (but have used calibre with Freda/and the calibre content server for about 3-4 months with ZERO problems).
Now: my :help:questions:
windows 11 64bit
My current calibre server resides in a 'users' directory, and therefore is backed up via Onedrive.
I mostly use the calibre content server (with userid/pw) to get most of my books loaded onto my devices.
How should/could I move my calibre library, besides 'very carefully!'
thanks. original quoted message about drivepool from several years ago follows!

During the time it's shut down, a sync runs on my desktop to copy the library from my desktop to the server. I don't share the same library folder on my desktop and the server since the server keeps the database locked. It doesn't need the whole 150 minutes to sync the library, but I shut it down for that long to also allow WHS to release the database file long enough for DrivePool duplication to occur. Otherwise the file stays locked and Drivepool complains that it can't be duplicated.
The Restart_Calibre.bat looks like this (assuming you named the service "Calibre Server" when you create it in NSSM):
Code:
@echo off
net stop "Calibre Server"
timeout /T 9000 /nobreak
net start "Calibre Server"
Run the batchfile through Scheduled Tasks at the desired time.
Periodically I update Calibre on the server via remote desktop just so it doesn't get too out of date.
I think that covers it. Good luck! |
