After that, a speedier (more efficient use of resources) is an INCREMENTAL backup. That only updates things that have changed.

Some of us use Freefilesync in MIRROR MODE (Never do a 2 way on a calibre Library or let other than Calibre make changes.).
This backs up Books and the main metadata store (metadata.db)
Google drive is known to damage the Library (modifies the file structure), so never use that for a library backup.
