Issues copying Photos Library to external drive
I currently have my Photos Library parked on an APFS formatted external HDD drive. I want to copy and paste that library onto a newer, APFS formatted external SSD drive. The destination external SSD has been formatted twice.
Each time I paste the Photos Library onto the new drive, it stops part way through (somewhere between 20 and 60 g) and gives me this message:
"The operation can't be completed because an item with the
name Photos Library already exists".
I've tried this 5-6 times; both by copying and pasting, and by merely dragging and dropping the Photos Library from the existing drive to the newer external SSD, with the same result.
Any ideas to resolve this? Should I rename the Photos Library on the old drive? Should I be using the export function instead?
Thanks for any advice.
