Hi community,
I am new. I registered to ask this question. I would like to transfer my library to an external hard-drive as it is big. I need more space for other things on the computer.
I am running MacOSX, calibre portable is not available.
Is it sufficient to copy the whole folder to the external hard-drive and that's it?
Or should I have two libraries, one of the computer, one one the hard drive, and run rsync to transfer new books to the hard drive?
Thank you for your advise.
