How can I move location my Download Backups folder permanently?

Hey everyone,
I'm having a small issue with my Backup system in Lightroom.
The laptop I am editing from has a 256GB SSD but I have situated my catalogue on a much larger external drive. My trouble is that in my Pictures folder under Lightroom I have a folder called Download Backup which stores all of my raw photos. Every day I take about 40GB of .RAW photos and every day I copy this folder to my external to take some of the pressure off my SSD. I don't want to be constantly doing this as it I've heard it's not good to constantly write and delete data to an SSD and it seems like such a simple thing to fix.
How can this be done?
With Metta,
Dan

Are the "Download Backup" files the 2nd copy which gets created when importing?
If so, just change the "Make a 2nd copy to.." setting and save in import preset.
Or are you talking about the "1st copy"? If so, then change the import destination...
If not one of these, then please gush forth with more info and screenshots etc.

  • How can I move my iPod iTunes Music Folder from C: drive to a New Drive?

    Running out of space on my PC's C: drive, so I tried moving all the folder to my new E: drive ie: (E:\My Music 2\iTunes).
    ALSO set iTunes (Edit/Preferences/Advanced/iTunes Music Folder location to E:\My Music 2\iTunes - but nothing seems to help!)
    All of the files couldn't find the source files, unless I pointed to them one by one.
    Can't move them all back because they are about 7GB+, and I now only have about 5.5 GB on my C: drive.
    And when I just went to open iTunes again, all my libraries don't even show.
    I'm afraid to plug in my ipod for synching until I get this straight, for fear of messing that up too.
    Please advise.

    To move your iTunes music to an external drive...
    1 Quit iTunes.
    2 Move the entire iTunes folder including music to
    the external drive.
    In point #2 do you mean move the entire Program File folder of iTunes or just the "My Documents" iTunes library folder?
    I have a full laptop, a big iPod and an external HD, I am trying to figure out how to store my library on the HD, but access it as if it were on the laptop.
    I moved my iTunes library to the HD and then in iTunes I used the "add folder to library" function, but it brought all of the song files back onto the laptop.
    How do you iPod gurus configure your setup with comp, HD and iPod? I need some guidance, my methods are not working.

  • How can I move mail from the offline folder inbox to a local folder?

    I have an IMAP account and my provider lost all but the last week of my emails. I still have them in the offline folder in Thunderbird so as long as I stay offline I can see the emails but I want to move them to local folders so I can go back online and sync the account without losing them all. How can I do this?

    Ah! You are BRILLIANT!! Thank you so very very very much. Your solution worked PERFECTLY! I now have all the messages I had lost aside from the past two months as the only computer I still had the offline messages was two month out of date BUT losing two months is far better than losing 5 years. You are my new personal HERO! Honestly, I can't thank you enough. This was nightmare and you solved it simply, beautifully, and completely.

  • HT5096 How can I move my Time Capsule Backup to an External Hard Drive?

    Hi
    I have run out of space on my Time Capsule so have decided to change my backup drive to an external hard drive of 4TB. I moved the Sparse Disk Image Bundle from the Time Capsule to the new drive and then changed Time Machine preferences to use the new drive as my Time Machine location. Backups work fine but I am still getting Disk Full messages as it seems that the backups are limited to the original 494Gb disk image size.
    When I double click on the sparsebundle it mounts the Time Machine Backups Disk Image revealing the Backups.backudb folder but if try to drag that to the External Hard Drive I get the error message "The volume has the wrong case sensitivity for a backup."
    Any clues how I get this sorted
    Cheers
    Steve

  • My photos in a folder are not in the correct order. How can I move them around?

    I  Am making an album of the life of an aunt. My photos are all in the wrong order. How can I move them around in the folder?

    lets use the correct words so we do not mis-communicate
    are you using iPhoto or the finder?  Never touch your photos using the finder if you use iPhoto!
    In iPhoto folders can not hold photos - folders hold only other folders or albums - albums hold photos  --  within an album you can manually arrange photos as you wish

    Also, does reinstallation takes the back up automatically or the files will be lost. Please help.

    Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances.  Take your pick.

  • I need my Photoshop installed on my drive O: but it installed on Drive C: How can I move it or is it possible to just uninstall then download and re-install?

    How can I move my Photoshop app to a new drive?

    I found a partial solution. I went ahead and installed the Creative Cloud to the desktop (that red and white icon). Then I opened that up. At the top right hand corner there is a little thing that looks like a gear. If you click on that and select "preferences" from the drop down menu, there is a place to specify the applications location. It would be better if there was a way to install the Creative Cloud off of drive C also. Maybe in Adobe's future that they will restore the ability to choose install drive.

  • How can I  move the 'Itune music file' to another disk

    Hello
    I am using ITUNE in a Winfow XP environnement. I am running out of space on my C disk. How can I move my ITUNE music file
    C:\Documents and Settings\Yves\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    to another bigger partition on the same computer?
    Sorry if that question as been answered before I may have missed it.
    Thanks Yves.

    Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
    One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

  • I have 528 contacts on my phone, but only 290 on my Icloud how can i move the rest over from my phone to my Icloud nothing is working

    I have 528 contacts on my phone, but only 290 on my Icloud how can i move the rest over from my phone to my Icloud nothing is working

    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.  (This will cause new contacts added to your phone to be added to the iCloud account.)
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will end up with duplicates on your phone).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your phone.  They will be added to iCloud and appear on icloud.com and any other devices syncing contacts with your account.
