I was thinking about Storage Groups, and was wondering if I could use them to partition recordings between temporary and more permanent things. Most of my myth stuff is Simpsons and cooking shows, which I am happy to have go away eventually. Some stuff, such as NOVA episodes, are more important, and I would like them as part of my collection. Can I set things up so that transcoded files are stored differently from everything else. That way I can back them up to another machine, and if things go bad I will at least keep them. I suppose that I can use rsync and take advantage of the fact that the mpeg4 files have the .nuv extension, but it would be so much cooler if I could have transcode work out the details for me.
