XP Pro SP3.
My 24-7 box runs my SageTV media server and is currently saving
everything to a NAS box.
NAS box is flirting with 90% (those old Benny Hill shows just
keep on coming and coming...) and 3 out it it's 7 gigs are
dedicated to a directory containing recorded TV.
To break the log jam, I popped a couple of two-giggers into the
Sage box and started copying all the recorded TV to them.
Part of my backup process is a weekly synch of all data to an old
Windows Home Server PC.
It would more convenient if the software involved could still see
all my recorded TV as one "Thing" - whether it be a share, a RAID
array, a directory, or whatever.
I was going to use an old RocketRaid 2300 card and build an
array, but wimped out after reading a few horror stories.
Instead, I'm just copying files that start with A-L to one drive
and the rest to the other drive with the intent of changing my
backup process to mirror each drive to a different share on the
NAS box.
But keeping the contents of both drives as one "Thing" would have
certain conveniences factors - continuity of back up among them.
So, the question:
Is there anything within Windows XP Pro that would aggregate the
contents of two drives and present them as one - without any
additional hardware? Write speed would not be a factor if the
media server could still write to the separate devices.
