Q: Error copying iPhoto to external drive on Mac

I am getting error trying to back up my iPhoto folder on an external drive. The drive has been formatted on iMac and is totally empty.

 

I do not save any of my files on my iMac so it doesn't slow down, I have all my iPhoto saved on an external drive, will call it External Drive 2 TB, I am trying to have a backup of the External Drive 2 TB to a different external drive, will call it External Drive 5 TB.

 

The message reads.....

"You can't copy "my file name iPhoto" because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn't distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames."

 

Any ideas on how to fix this.

 

Thank you.
