Import Calibre data ERROR

ERROR while trying to Import Calibre data, in total 24 files. Cant import my files

calibre, version 6.4.0
ERROR: Not valid: The folder /home/ss/Downloads/Calibre Backup is not valid: The exported data in part-0013.calibre-data is not valid, version (1387920266) is higher than maximum supported version. You might need to upgrade calibre first.

But I'm already using the latest Calibre v6.4.0. Installed the Binary version as mentioned here.

? Possible that the data EXPORTED was corrupt? (I read that as the (####) enclosed is way to high a value. )

Hang in there, until a few others have a chance to weigh in. 6.4 is real new and you risk making things worse, when the fix might be simple.

It might be a good idea to run the first phase (at minimum) of Library Maintenance before Exporting.
A corrupt backup does no one any good

That's definitely corrupted data.

Recently I changed my PC linux distro so I transferred all my files using KDE Connect & retransferred to PC, maybe that corrupted something

. The worst part is I don't have a backup.

Any hack/fix for this? Or I've to lose all my files now?

No i'm afraid there is no way to recover a corrupted export

Atleast I've the .csv file to view which books I had in my library.

Thanks @kovidgoyal

Even if I backup & store them in multiple storage/cloud storage there is no guarantee that the files are not corrupted.

Is it possible to show corrupted export visually? Like if user transfer the export but it gets corrupted somehow or partially transferred then auto rename to something else than usual naming? So that user could know that their export is corrupted & would be easier for them to recognize & save them from going through this horrible situation.
Or any better alternative/tool to check if my files are corrupted or not?

Since calibre is not doing the transferring hwo can it show if things are corrupted by the transfer? Use any tool to check file hashes if you need to verify an export post transfer.
