Can we not export our library while a device is connected?

Can we export (back up) our library while a device (in my case, a Kobo Forma) is connected?

I can't seem to find "Export/import all calibre data" option under the Calibre Library button when my device is connected.

If we can only export/import data when there's no device connected, can I suggest that we add that note to http://blog.calibre-ebook.com/2017/0...port-your.html ?

No, you cant do pretty much any library maintenance type activities while a device is connected.
