Move Images

I'm new to Capture One, using V9. Coming over from Aperture.

I'd like to get up and running on Capture One using an external drive, so I can move it around with me as I learn C1. So, I'd put my images and the C1 catalog files on the external driver.

Later on, I will want to move it (specifically all the images) over to an external RAID array.

Is this easy to do?
Moving everything?
How would it be done?

I'm not looking to keep things in two locations. Not trying to keep things in sync. I want to, at some point in the near future, simply move everything over and keep it that way moving forward.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Assuming you have your raw files referenced

How would I try to do it:

Later, move your raw images to the new location (NAS, external RAID, whatever) BUT keep the folder structure and images within the folders where they are, in other words move the top folder.
Then in the library tool, after starting C1 you'll find the folder (the old location) with a red symbol indicating that it has not been found (is offline). Open the context menu and select "locate" to locate your new top folder location.

It is recommended to have the catalog on an internal drive but it should work with an external drive as well. Moving your catalog should also not be a problem.

That's how I would try it, never did though.

Cheers,
BeO
