You can use check library to find these problems. In most cases (all that I can think of), you can recover by renaming the 'extra authors/titles' to what calibre wants them to be, which will be shown in 'missing authors/titles'.

Oh, I didn't mean the .db file only... I meant the entire Calibre DB. I already had a backup, but that one was so old (2 weeks, at least!) that it was horribly outdated...
