What size USB drive is required for Roon migration

@James_Mellor,

The space required for a Roon database backup is dependent on the number of tracks in your Roon library.

What Exactly is the Backup Backing up?

The size of the backup depends on how many tracks, albums, artist etc. are in your library … my Roon backup is 132 GB but that’s for 99 copies … so that’s circa 13GB per backup. I don’t foresee a problem using a thumb drive (memory stick) but they are quite slow so it might take a while for the backup to complete. I think you just need to experiment and see if the performance is acceptable or not.

I suggest you check the size of your existing backups to determine if it will fit on what I assume is an 8GB thumb drive.
