Hi all so my drive with my ebooks on failed!

Fortunately I keep a backup so I have the calibre library folder with all books in and the DB file.

I have putthem onto a new drive which has a different name to the failed one.

How do I point calibre at the db file and the calibre library folder?

Thanks.

Am on osx.
