Cool Making A copy of my library to CD

Having had many computer problems of late I have become obsessive about backing up to various media.

I have only just started using Calibre to hopefully send my e-books to my Sony Touch.

I am a bit of a stickler for being organised and am spending alot of time and effort in organising my library. I want to 'back up' my library in seperate 'author' files onto a CD. When I used 'save to disc' and used burn, when I return to the library the files 'saved to disc' had disappeared from my library.

Also, although I have the titles etc. correctly capitalized etc in the library when I look for the files in the 'library' file as oppossed to the on screen library with Calibre open, they do not appear correctly and thus the files that are saved are not the same as those contained in Calibre.

I am sure this is a problem being caused by me not understanding Calibre, and other computing rules, but I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Also, where is the Calibre database? Having made a mess up of my first couple of attempts organising the library, I uninstalled Calibre and my book files and then re-installed and I keep getting the message 'some of the titles you are importing are already in the database'
