How and what to backup
Before I install an update of the operating system (Ubuntu-Linux), I want to backup the Caliber settings .
This includes the library itself, of course. Also the directory ~/.config/calibre, where (hopefully) all my settings are stored. But: I can't find a database where the keywords (and their links to the books) are stored. However, I don't know what to look for either. The keywording of the books in my library is very important to me. So here is my question: What files and folders do I need to back up so that after I upgrade the BS, I get Caliber back the way I set it up? Thanks for thinking along and your time. Kind regards, Hib |

I'm using Portable and it won't let me export, is there a way to get settings transferred to a new install of 64 bit.
