Can I use two file locations for Daz3D files?

Hello, I am going to start using a new computer soon, so obviously I am going to copy all of my files (textures, templates etc.) in the Daz3D folder to the new one, BUT not on it's hard drive, and this is why. Right now the Daz3D folder is about 617.23 GB while the new hard drive is only 500 GB, so I am planning to transfer these to an external hard drive of 1 Terabyte and connect it, AND then use this 500 GB new computer hd for those files which I will install from this day onwards, I hope you understood what I am saying, Old files on this backup drive, while new files on new computer hard drive. So my question is: Can I make Daz3D detect two file locations, as some of my scenes which I will open need to use the files from the 1TB while the new scenes from the 500GB? Also, how do I set these locations in the software?

    I have 42 separate runtime locations defined in my Daz config. No problems...

    To answer the question 'Also, how do I set these locations in the software?'

    In the Content Library click in the drop down icon top right. Choose 'Content Directory Manager'. Click on Add and browse to your new folder on the external hard drive. Click Accept and you should be good to go.
