hi, i have my ap library stored on an EHD. I want to create a vault on another EHD (2nd EHD) which i plan to devote entirely to vaults. how do i do this? I need to have the original EHD on so as I can bring up the ap library, but then how do I connect the 2nd EHD and create the vault on the other EHD. I hope that made sense. thank you

John, I have been trying to create this vault. I have the EHDs daisy chained and I created the vault in aperture and it started to “update vault” it has been running for 38 hours now and the beach ball is spinning non stop. when I check the activity monitor it says aperture not responding in red print. I dont think it is working. I dont know what I have done wrong. It is a large library, 100,000 images but i went out and bought a 1 TB gdrive to use exclusively to create a vault

You can daisy chain the two EHD’s together with a cable.(most EHD have multiple ports.
In the Action menu (gear icon) select ” add vault” and name and direct the finder to the second EHD.
Update the Vault on the second EHD and disconnect.

Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time. So much to know!
