I am moving LR to a new computer and I need to move about 4TB of image files to an external drive. See screen capture below. There is a total of about 60,000 files (1.8TB) on the drive shown in the screen shot. With the exception of LR2 Photos and Photo Library folders, only the folders on the WD3 – 2TB drive with a year as the folder name will be moved to the external drive. The other folders are not part of lightroom.
All the files and catalog are backed up. Is there a danger that in trying to move 60,000 files as a unit that LR will get confused somewhere during the move and loose or confuse links? Is there a better or safer way than drag and drop to do the move? Would it be better to break it up into smaller units?
Thank you,
Leonard
