Ability to specify one of the disks used for folder duplication

[wilsky]

Hi.

 

I have an idea for a feature that I would like to be added to DP in the future. 

 

I use 2x and 3x Folder Duplication on some of my folders containing some of the more important stuff.

 

I would like the ability to manually specify one of the disks used for folder duplication on a per "folder duplication"-level.

 

This way I could have one disk, that I use as my main duplication disk, so it would contain a copy of all the files from the folders I choose. This way I would know that this disk is my high priority disk containing a copy of all my important files across the duplicated folders. This could be a USB Drive or iSCSI volume to get some hardware location security also.

 

I hope it makes sense. And if not, is there another way to achieve this?

 

Thank you for a great product.

 

Best regards

 

Kristian

Thanks for the link.

 

I might have misunderstood the folder placement feature, but to me that is a different thing from what i would like to be able to do. 

 

• Control over general folder placement

vs.

• Control over what disk to use for duplication.

 

Or perhaps this could be a sub-feature of the folder placement feature?

Hi wilsky,

few days ago i had a similar question:

... it is being worked on!

Okay, a rash of requests for this is going around.

 

I will make sure alex sees this, and hopefully we can get a balancer developed to do this.

 

 

That, or if anyone has coding experience (C#, I believe), you could develop one.

 

 

But Ordered File Placement may be a suitable substitute for the time being.
