Finder say FCPX libraries are larger than external hard drive, unable to backup
Finder says FCPX libraries are larger than external hard drive, unable to backup drive! Maybe it has something to do with FCPX libraries being first created as far back as 2012? (documentary project still in progress)
External Hard Drive = 12TB GRAID RAID 0, finder says drive has 21TB+ data
Many thanks in advance for any guidance!

And your sure its not using the local?

I’d run Disk Utility on the external, see if there are errors. Given the age of the project (and your setup), I’m assuming the external is formatted HFS+ (Journaled) – if that’s the case, I’d also run DiskWarrior on it.

Which of the many RAIDS out there do you have?
And give a call to that manufactures tech support.

Appreciate the feedback, this is related to symlinks, APFS vs HFS+ file systems, and HDD vs SSD hardware. Seems unavoidable unless all your drives are SSD APFS format. To understand and take a deeper dive into this challenge, check out this apple discussions thread:
