Homebrew Copying contents of USB drive to another drive

[Beamer3131]

Hello! I have all of my Wii U games on an external hard drive currently. I want to use another larger drive as I am running out of room on it. Last time I tried this I lost all of my data so I am hesistant to do it again.

What is the best way to do this? Copy the contents to my pc and just copy to the new drive? Is there a tool that I can use to do this for me? Thanks

The Wii U itself lets you copy stuff from one hard drive to another

You can connect both USB on wiiu and do a copy. It will take a long time but I did it and didn't lose anything.

Does the drive need to be formatted to a certain format first?

It needs to be formated by the Wii U first before copying your games to it.

the wii u will format the drive before allowing you to use it once you have both of the drives plugged in just go to settings storage and move everything from the one to the other
