mudcow007 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 right bare with me is this doesn't make sense at first im looking at setting up and archive for some old data that we have sitting on our file server. what i woudl like to be able to do is move the data to a dvd somewhere but leave behind (where the data lived) an image of the data that has been moved to storage. its kind alike remote storage but hopefully i want a net message to say insert disk 3 etc is there anyway of doing this? oh its server 2000
mrforgetful Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Is this not what Remote Storage does in the Add/Remove Windows Components?
mattx Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Build a cheap FreeNAS [ http://www.freenas.org ] box and either copy the data to it or stick the drive in with the data on in the NAS box ? Freenas supports [ to a level - NTFS ] - in fact checking the latest beta its NTFS support is now a little better......
SimpleSi Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I think what mudcow007 wants is a facility like old mainframes used. e.g program wants some data but the OS has archived it off to a tape somewhere so it alerts an operator to go and get the tape (DVD in this case) and make it available. Yes? regards Simon
