corrupt metadata.db and redoing library

I had to redo my library a few times because of database corruption. It was okay when I had a few books now that they are over a few hundred if I ever have to do over it will be really annoying. Plus for a few books I had changed the metadata in calibre but inside they still had the old metadata and covers so when I recreatred my library I had to redo a lot of it again

So I was wondering is saving the metadata of each book in its own folder in a xml file a better Idea. So even if I loose my metadata.db
calibre can have an option to rescan and make a new database from the xml files. So there is no need to re add all the books as that takes a long time as calibre tries to find metadata from each book.
