Cool KMA file question

I have 2 XP laptops that seem to be operating fine on 4.06 thanks to a few of you that have taken time to help others. I am a stickler for consistency and have done, and plan to do the following:

I have an "F Book" external drive that I use for backup from my primary laptop. So I have created a kma file on F. When I add a new disc to my primary LT, I can also drop the files into F. This to me gives me complete safety not to loose everything.

The number and size of files on my primary machine does not match the number and size on my backup. I want to be able to print a songbook from my primary and have it match the backup exactly. I am getting ready to delete all kma files from my backup LT and drag and drop kma files from F drive to the backup.

I have looked at the manual on "rebuilding" the songs data base but its not clear on what I am wanting to do. Also, a thread search on this topic didn't turn up anything recent. It appears that the songs database will rebuild automatically, but I'm not sure.

Can anyone give me a good reason NOT to do this or specific instructions (if needed) on how to handle the new files on the backup LT after I delete the current ones and drag and drop the external HD (F) files.

May your microphone batteries last forever!
