Discover what is being done to YOUR library that is doing the data damage.
We can put Hardware down low on the list as that usually damages/loses files.

Most common(s):
2-way data sync Only mirror (1 way, a shadow of the Main only)

Network sharing / NAS. Various things need to happen in lock step. Networks can insert delays. 2 Users on a share results in Keystone Kops data. Who writes what fails. Calibre is Single User access. If you need remote access, look at the using content server. that is the way to go for remotes.
Using the OS 'copy' or Explorer to make any changes at the file system level.
