Horos data storage on external HD

[Francesca]

Hallo!

I kindly ask to all expert Horos users if it is possible to transfer all Horos data on an external HD and to continue using Horos adding new imaging studies on an external HD instead of Mac HD, and how I can do it.

Thank you!!

Hi, 

I wonder if there replies to this query. Can someone share how to transfer Horos data from the computer HD to an external drive as the HD is running out of storage space? Thanks

I believe you can accomplish this using the following recipe:

1. Quit Horos if it is running.
2. Copy the "Horos Data" folder under your /Users/<login>/Documents directory to the external HD.
3. Rename the original Horos Data folder to something like "Horos Data Backup".
4. Restart Horos.
5. In Preferences->Database, change the location from Default to Custom and select the copied folder on your external HD.
6. Quit and restart Horos.
7. Horos should now be using the database on your external drive.

just started using, and I have set up the external hard drive as described, thanks

Just as a follow on from this, if I maintain an archive of ‘old’ imaging on an external hard drive and a local database on my laptop of ‘current’ imaging studies, is there a way to merge the database on my laptop with the archive, so that I have a single unified archive on the external hard drive?

Thanks in advance
