What you can do is keep your eBooks on your local drive and use the NAS as a backup. Use FreeFileSync to sync your library to your backup on your NAS. That way you only have to copy everything once and from then on, just what's new or changed.

Hey thanks for the answer but if that is the case I don't understand the reason of that environment variable nor the text in Calibre's wiki :
Code:
CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH - allows you to specify the full path to metadata.db. Using this variable you can have metadata.db be in a location other than the library folder. Useful if your library folder is on a networked drive that does not support file locking.
especially this phrase:
