Hi,

I'd like to backup my Library. I copied the complete 'iTunes' folder with media and .itl file to a new drive. Currently it's on another external drive. When starting iTunes with the Option-key I can select the copied .itl on the other drive.

But when playing a song, I get a 'Cannot Locate' popup. When pointing to the new location & answer Yes to the question: 'Should iTunes use this location for all files?' - the result is a popup that all music files are missing. But the 1 manually located file does play..

The new Library is visible in iTunes' Preferences>Advanced - 'Keep.. organised' is ticked. What am I doing wrong? I know I could reimport the Library again, but isn't there a faster way?

Thanks
