This would be the mlink likely... tried and failed

Since the back up is in app data folder is in c drive, it saw it and linked to it there. Maybe I need to delete all of it first??? I’ll try tonight.

So, After building a rig with a 500gb m.2 boot drive, we backed up our many iTunes devices only to fill the drive up with 400gb of backups. I need to move the Apple computer folder in AppData to e drive. I’ve tried switching from powershell to cmd so I can move the file over to the E drive but powershell is being a stubborn pain. I have tried a few different ways to open this folder and run in cmd but to no avail. Is there an alternate way to move the iTunes backup folder onto the e drive? Is there an app that makes this easier? I don’t think it will take buying an app but I am just annoyed with dealing with this.

avoided the ups due to the 50 history states and frequent autosave to the scratch disk but still a good idea. I will look into RAM performance software and research PCIe SSD's. Thanks for the advice Ryan.

Speed, this thread is all about speed from a different perspective (summary highlighted). I'm not a gamer trying to pull the fastest fps, I want a rig that i can switch between and also run multiple tasks like a honey badger! This rig should be extremely effective in multitasking and no wait times. I am tired of watching the credits every time I open and use Adobe products and I use 6 of them frequently along with a dozen smaller retouching applications. Like a honey badger, I don't care. The applications should just work when I need them to without delay. Retouchers and photographers like my spouse and I spend between a couple minutes on a basic image to six hours on a single high end commercial retouch. This means being patient when performing actions, and I deliver about 24 high end retouches per event and perform basic retouching for about 500-1000 images per event. So this is a lot of screen time. In order not to go crazy, I need a PC that can also run critical distractions in parallel. These distractions often come from 1/2 dozen social media websites, streaming youtube, creative live, netflix, itunes music and movies. Occasionally, I use Screen capture software to record and teach the spouse the latest photoshop techniques to get a desired result. Current systems & personal dilemma : 1. Pineapple: sandy bridge i7 2600k overclocked Asus P8P67 Windows 10 home Asus Strix R9 380 4gb DDR3 32gb (4x8) memory watercooled SSD 500GB Boot SSD 128gb scratch HDD 1.8 tb storage If I were to build a x99 or z170, will I see a Performance boost over this rig? I am sitting on a new Asrock Z97 Fatality board. Is the i7 4790k, worth the pain of an upgrade? Other than switching to m2.2, is there anything i am needing? 2. Caramel Apple (spouse's pain) hp laptop hpdv7 i5 2.53 ghz Windows 7 home ATI Radeon Mobile HD5650 8gb (2x4gb) memory HDD 640GB storage HDD 2x1Tb usb drives dead battery If I build a new pc, she will get pineapple as is. Trouble begins with her need for a laptop for client sales, that was her excuse for the ipad but she takes the laptop. do I clone the HDD and get her a $200 960GB SSD + Battery or bit the bullet with a gamer rig and consider myself ahead?? 3. other netgear networked USB (shared 4Tb Drive) various babck up drives unused On a separate note: It would also be nice to reduce our upload times. First to our hard drives and twice to the web for sales and photolab ordering for ourselves. I was going to begin building a NAS device to store all of our events but abandoned project when I bought the netgear R6400 and started using a network attached back up that we can share between computers, but that too is buggy especially with the WIN10 upgrade. Each is about 50GB per event, then the retouched files can double that. Compressing prior to uploading for printing is a different digression and huge but stopped
