metadata.db should still be there with all your books in the Library folder.
If that is damaged beyond repair (use the repair tool on the Library Icon arrow), there is a OPF and cover.jpg file stored with each title that the Rebuild tool (same place) will use.

re install problems now backed up metadata
Have tried and failed. Where is the backup metadata stored. I had backed up the books medadata regularly and can't locate these files.

The backup metadata is in the books (title) folder. 1 OPF per folder
