External Hard Drive Usage Suggestions Please

Hi,

I have a master external drive that I call The Vault. I keep a ton of music on here.

I like to make smaller playlists and put them on a thumb drives for gigs...

After exporting my playlist, I closed Rekordbox, Ejected The Vault, and loaded Rekordbox again, this time with only my Thumbdrive attached.

Rekordbox said something about the Master Library drive missing etc. I clicked Load from Backup. Ok no big deal.

But, all the files in my master library still show up albeit without artwork.

Also, when I plugged The Vault back in and reloaded Rekordbox, all of my artwork is missing still...

What should I have done differently and is there anything I can do to get Rekordbox to see my Art again???

Thanks

The only thing you need to do is to change the database here:

If "The Vault" is connected and has the database, it will be available for you to select. rekordbox will prompt you when you select it.

I found one answer:

My Artwork was restored by going into:

rekordbox>Preferences>Advanced>Database:

Then under Rekordbox XML>Imported Library>Browse: I found the most recent XML (not the auto mix one...) on The Vault

Plus I Selected, The Vault under Database Management. (That's my master external drive...)
