**Duplicating Rekordbox library?**

has anyone done this successfully? i tried to search but came up with nothing. i essentially want to clone my rekordbox collection and its information to another drive. i dont want to move my current library. i’ve read that it is possible if you use the same file path on both computers but thats not really an option.

the problem i found with this is that the files were never missing on my new computer.

If you are trying to sync your Rekordbox library with another computer, maybe wait for Library Sync, which will probably come with RB 5.3.

If you just want a one-time duplication, have you tried File \> Backup Library on computer 1, followed by File \> Restore Library on computer 2?
