Hi all, I've done lots of searching on the web but was wondering if there's a better way to transfer 1tb/100,000 photos (my entire LR catalogue) from one external hard drive (it's now full) to another new (bigger) external one.
I know you can do it all through LR and that's great for a small/med amount of photos but because I'm talking 100,000 pics I'm wondering if there's a less laborious way.
I was wondering... can I clone the old drive to the new (by a backup prog like carbon copy cloner) to create an exact replica which would hopefully be recognised, no probs, by LR?? Is that possible?
Or some other way?
I don't want to do it via Finder because I don't wanna relink 100,000 pics...
There's gotta be an easy way to do this and have LR not spit chips trying to marry up files!
