Problems restoring libraries - Where is the library stored?

thanks for the link to the wiki JimH. having read it, re - read it and then re read it again, I am afraid that this is not what I need.
I want to have 3 identical copies of my library on three different machines. Each machine has its own USB drive. On the windows machines, even the drive letter is identical. All I do is use the library backup/restore function. I backup the library on machine 1 and then restore that backup onto machine 2. Cloning is what I am doing.
All USB drives are clones of each other. This has worked fine for several years. infact for at least the last 7 years! SO why is it now suddenly reverting back to random past copies of the library.
The issue I am having is occurring on the same machine, so either the laptop or the Mac. Its the same issue. That of reverting to earlier versions of the library before a Restore.
I have spent a LOT of time sorting out the meta tags on the files to keep my files tidy and its just very annoying when MC ignores that work by reverting to a previous version of the library.
This now just happened again on my laptop.
How can I ensure that MC library is the same as it was the last time i used the machine and not some other previous random earlier version.
Sorry but this is getting really frustrating and annoying for me.
Let me know what you need from me to be able to help me fix this. I've been a loyal MC user for over 10 years now and the experience of using it is starting to get worse not better.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I see that I have two "Main library" and both of them are on my C drive. This is not where I keep my libraries, they are kept on the USB drive.
How can I force MC to only use the library that is located on the USB drive?
JimH:
Look at the dates of the zip files.

That's not the recommended way of sharing the files, and we don't support it.
Library Server is the answer to your problems.
