So now I need to recreate the folder structure I meticulously set up.

So....in the future how to back up everything needed to do a simply cut an paste when a computer crashes or I update my computer so I don't have to rebuild all my databases again
Do not change the default folder structure of your calibre library. That will mess up your database. Calibre is incompatible with user-created folder systems - it needs to have its own system, and that is not customizable by the user.

As I said before, the main rule of calibre is: DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLDERS AND FILES OF YOUR CALIBRE LIBRARY. Everything must be done via the GUI.

In the future you can just copy and paste your library folder in its entirety, provided you haven't changed anything in there manually.
