At the end of the year, I would like to move a couple of my older libraries to my external drive in order to free up some room on my IMAC. Can someone please explain to me the easiest process to move a LARGE library to another drive please? FYI…. everything on my computer is backed up on Backblaze, so I am not too concerned about losing anything in the process.
THANKS for your help!

I don’t know how large your library is but when I move a library, I have a different one for each year, I just use the drag and drop holding the Command key. If your library is really large it may take some time so doing it overnight might be the best option. I would also suggest you use Vaults in addition to Backblaze as backup. If something happens you can restore much quicker from a Vault than waiting for Backblaze. I keep my Vaults on a separate HD which is also backed up to Backblaze. (Belt and suspenders)
