Legacy Products Engine PRIME

My workflow (Someone may find this helpful)

I Keep the main collection on an external SSD, and make a clone or two with regular external drives.

Pros

  • Your collection is portable
  • Hot swap with other computers easily
  • The clone works just like your main
  • The drive can also be used directly with the prime hardware.

Cons

  • Well you give up one usb port (not an issue to me since I have 4 USB on the laptop)
  1. Replace the hard drive
  2. Download the recovered DB to Music folder (on the new HD)
  3. Download your tracks from google drive back to where it was.

Fire up Engine Prime and hope for the best

If that doesn’t work

Upload that recovered DB to rekordcloud and use the relocate file function

I don’t think there is a way to recover from export drives yet…I could be wrong though
