#I'm realizing my drive is too small

I'm backing up my wifes phone and if my math is right I'm going to go over the 1TB. I'm about half way into the 30k file sync from her phone. What is the best plan here? I have a 4TB drive I can use if this works fine on a 7200 rpm drive. But HOW do I move the files and what would I need to update to start using the new drive? (This is my first self hosted project I appreciate any help) I do work in IT so I understand I likely need to copy the files, then update the documents to point to the new location, and maybe update docker to have access? Am I missing anything? Windows/Docker set up.

Should I put all of these folders on the new drive? "Phone media" is empty.

What OS is this?

Ah. Windows can be very problematic with external disks

#

In theory you can move the files and update your compose to E:\path or whatever it is

But it often doesn’t work well
