You need to find the EHD format - it must be Mac OS extended (Journaled) for the Photos library - you get that in the finder by selecting the EHD under devices and right clicking and getting info - the info window gives the format among other things
and if the WD is your TM backup volume then adding a copy of the Photos library is useless since you lose both when the WD drive fails - to be a separate backup it needs to be on a separate drive - you only state that you have one
You control what is shown in the finder preferences > sidebar window
and you do not get you Photos library under all my files - by default it is in your pictures folder under favorites
What exactly does this mean
Problem - when I drag the Photos Library to Remote Disk (EHD), it doesn't catch the Remote Disk.
Certainly having two backups of your photos is a good idea
