multiple Calibre instances (different libraries)

Hello,
Not sure where I can post this question/conundrum.

I have multiple Calibre libraries on my local and remote machines (one is for professional books, another is my fiction, one is a staging library where I can work on book formatting issues without accidentally overwriting the originals files, one is a small Calibre testing library for column changes, etc without overwriting original metadata).

Are there any good ways to be able to work on two different libraries concurrently? I can switch back and forth fine if I'm not doing any long running tasks but even doing backups can subsume a particular library.

Thank you!
