Multiple libraries seen as one

Giuseppe Chillem · 04-02-2015, 04:21 PM

Hi,
I have written about this in the past.
I would like to have multiple libraries seen as one. I know there is the "virtual library option" but I prefer having different libraries because I have less "point of failure" (something in the main library fails have I have to start multi days recover and ... pray everything goes well.
Has been it implemented ?

No
And it probably will never be because each Library can have a unique (custom column) structure

If you keep separate libraries just for recovery convenience, I suggest you just consolidate them all and implement a robust backup strategy.

I personally have an autobackup once a week (sunday 19h30, using Duplicati) for everything in my profile, including my library. In addition I manually mirror my library (using FreeSyncFile) after an heavy Calibre session to my home server, where a headless calibre-server multi-instance is running 24/24.

And every night, the whole home server is backed up on my NAS.

I'm pretty worry-free on that front.
