If you are asking this question (good, you did), you don't know enough about the structure of Calibre to be able to work inside the Library without causing problems.

1)Treat your Library as a 'Black Box'. Everything a standard user needs can and SHOULD be done via the GUI (CLI).

2)If you follow rule #1 there is no OLD metadata. Each title has a backup of the data shown in the GUI for that title.

If you have been breaking Rule #1, you need to run the Library Maintenance NOW and fix the things (reported) before it gets worse
