reinstall after HD crash questions
My C: drive crashed, and I need to reinstall calibre.
1) I would like to use a non-standard drive to install it (my "T" drive), that links to my micro$oft one-drive storage. 2) I did (once) create a backup in calibre, but have no idea where it is and what the file name would be. 3) I would also like to customize the library location, and hopefully find all of the calibre files I have on the machine (perhaps in different drives). 4) I would also like to be able to change my library location so it will also be found by my one-drive software for future backups! currently running win 10/64 bit thanks for your suggestions and help in advance |

Don't run OneDrive on an active calibre library. Your library may get corrupted. Instead, use FreeFileSync (mirror mode) to make a copy which can be synced to OneDrive.
Calibre isn't really compatible with various automatically running file-syncing tools. So it's best to use a copy for cloud backup. |

more on drives...
[QUOTE=BetterRed said check the faq list for errors on drive/nas
[/QUOTE] OK. SO, I will NOT re-install calibre on a network drive, and will use the program to copy info. Is there anything else I need to take from this topic? |
