Can a Library back-up by Windows 11 version MC33 be used in a Mac Version MC33?

Thank you ~

Yes, but you'll have to change the paths for all your imported files in MC because they won't be the same as they are on Windows.

Didn't they build a tool for this kind of migration, or am I imagining things again?

Restoring a backup from another OS should reset any OS-specific settings to their defaults - that includes any pathes used in the settings.

For the media file locations, you will likely have to put in some work - there is a migration assistant available, but its not fully automated just by the nature of it.

There is the portable library feature too, but that also requires a little work to be done.
