Managed LIbrary and External Drives

Managed LIbrary and External Drives

I want to transfer my Aperture library to an external drive, continuing to operate on a 'manage' basis, as I'm rapidly running out of room on my internal drive.

This external drive will be exclusive to Aperture and I wish to back this up to another external drive (again only to be used for Aperture back up) using time machine.

Currently I'm backing up to a 1TB drive which I wish continue to use via time machine for everything else.

Am I asking too much? If not can anyone advise how to do.

Many thanks.

Currently, I do my primary editing on my rMBP, with a dedicated Thunderbolt drive as the host of the Managed Library (about 2 TB current). I now do my first clone backup to a USB3 drive, which can then be used as a source to further clone back to a dedicate drive in my old Mac Pro.

Hope this helps.
