How to Backup, Move and Export Your Library in Calibre

Have you ever lost your files? Crashing hard drives and accidental deletions teach us that there are two kinds of people: those who backup their files and those that will start to backup their files. Thankfully, calibre comes with tools to do just that – quickly and easily. That way you won’t lose your collection the next time your laptop crashes.

Move your calibre e-book library to Google Drive™, Microsoft OneDrive or Dropbox and access the library through Calibre-go to browse, sort, search and download books on your mobile device. Calibre-go supports multiple libraries across multiple Google and Dropbox accounts. Switch between libraries across multiple accounts.

Consider using the calibre Content server to make your books available on other computers. Run calibre on a single computer and access it via the Content server or a Remote Desktop solution. If you must share the actual library, use a file syncing tool like DropBox or rsync instead of a networked drive. There is no.epub support here and you will need to use a tool like Calibre to convert.epubs to a supported format (either.azw or.mobi). Kobo also has a partnership with Dropbox.

How to Export Your eBook Library

Calibre

If you want to prepare for a disaster or just move your collection to your new device, make a backup. To export your calibre library:

  1. First, click on the “[your library name]” button on the main screen and select “Export/Import all calibre data”.
  2. Then, choose “Export all your calibre data”.
  3. In the dialog box select the library you want to export and click “OK”.
  4. Finally, select the folder where you want to save your backup in.

This process will create a series of 1 GB-large files with your whole library. Best widgets for mac. You can then save it on a backup drive, burn them to DVDs or just stash them away somewhere safe.

How to Import Your eBook Library

You exported your library. Now, to restore your library after a loss or move it to your new computer, you need to import it:

  1. First, go to “Calibre library > Export/Import all calibre data” once again.
  2. This time select “Import previously exported data”.
  3. Then, find the source folder of your backup.
  4. And finally, specify where to save it.
  5. Then, click “OK”.

How to Move Your eBook Library

Say you have two hard drives and the one that has your collection on it is getting full. You decided to move it to another drive. To move your library to another location:

Calibre Dropbox
  1. First, click on your library’s name and select “Switch/create library…”
  2. On the next screen select the new path for your library and click the option to “Move current library to new location”.
  3. Finally, confirm by clicking “OK”.

Now your library is in the new location!

Cloud Services Are Another Option

If you want to access your library from any location and keep an additional backup, but for some reason do not want to use calibre’s server option, you can add your library to the cloud service you use (e.g. Dropbox or OneDrive).To do this, you must either move your library to your cloud service location on your device (e.g. your Dropbox folder) or add the library’s folder to be synced in the cloud’s settings. Just remember that if you do that, the cloud service provider will have access to your library. Note that there are also some 3rd party tools to help calibre and cloud services cooperate.Important note: using cloud services with calibre is risky and may lead to data loss. It is known that Google Drive is not compatible with calibre. Use those services at your own risk and always make a backup.To minimize this risk, synchronize your library with only one cloud service and only when calibre is turned off. Read more in the manual.So, there you have it – the basics of staying safe with calibre.

'This is best app of its kind available. Different users may have different needs and no single app can address all those. I found it very useful and a breeze to use. Setting it up on any device is a breeze. Connect the computer and the device to same wireless network and you are all set. Worth every penny in gold. Last but not least—the excellent customer support. One of its great features that i love is that it lets you move your library to external storage in case you need space.'

'Has worked flawlessly for for me for yearsMan! I just do not get these negative reviews. It organizes the books in Calibre in a number of useful ways and provides a very easy way to transfer the books. My Calibre library is stored on Dropbox, so no matter where I am, as long as I have an internet connection, I can get any of my books without connection to my PC, which is quite useful since I never take my PC traveling. Sure there are a number of other ways to set up Calibre to access your books, locally and remotely, but none as simple and reliable as CC.'
