I currently have two backends - one with 1 SD tuner, 1 HDHR, and a<br>
cable box controlled over firewire; the other backend has one SD tuner<br>
and one digital HD tuner.<br>
<br>
Because of the quantity of tuners on my master backend, it's hard<br>
drives approach full quickly (primarily because of recording off the<br>
cable box). The Slave backend, on the other hand, regularly has<br>
copious space. I can copy the actual files from the MBE to the SBE<br>
over my network, but is there any easy way to let my Myth system know<br>
to look for the files on the slave rather than on the master? Is this<br>
something that setting up two Storage Groups would rectify?<br></blockquote><div><br>Actually, it's something that 1 storage group can rectify. If you have both master and slave directories in the default storage group on both backends, it'll all work without a hitch. In fact, if you have granted write access to the slave directory for the master backend, it'll automatically start using that storage if space gets tight on the first listed directory. This makes it \unnecessary to shuffle recordings around. <br>
