error code 100007

I am trying to copy my Photos Library to a disk drive and I get error 100007. What is that and how do I go proceed?

iMac 21.5″, macOS 11.0

Hi - Is the external drive correctly set up for using with a photos library?


It must be formatted APFS or MacOS extended (journaled), and not be (or have been) used for time machine. It must have the 'ignore ownership" checkbox ticked. It should not be on a memory stick, SD or similar. It stands to reason that if you want any sort of reasonable performance it should be a fast drive with a fast connection.
