Legacy OS, old Calibre version backup problem -URGENT

Hi Folks!

I'm using an old windows xp 64 and have a 30.000 more or less books. I update the metadata with descriptors/tags abstracts, better covers and so.

I put the elibrary on drive g:\Biblioteca Marcvit 2015 and unfortunately my samsung tera external drive has a failure and doesnt work anymore.

I backup downloaded books as is and backup it up so there's 65 % of the library on it. I really hope that I will recover my data from the bad disk.


But most important is the metadata that I add carefully setting projects, collections and so. Because I want the fastest retrieval and make my library a knowledge base.

I need to reinstall my C: drive and dont want to delete the metadata. I start a new library called marcvit library 2016. But the 2015 database still exists (I guess) so I want your help on finding out a way to edit the database and gradually check the books that are missing so I could download again. But most important a way to speed up the 2015 setup using scripts etc.

Please help! that library is used on daily basis and is a real tool for our work.

Kindly Regards!

Marcvit
