I record to the local drive(s) in my mythbackend, but occasionally, I feel the need to move some of this content to my NAS which has more capacity. Looking for advice on the best way to accomplish this. <br><br>I have mythvideo set up to use a NFS-mounted file system on the NAS. I've been using the mythrename script to create meaningful file name links, which I then copy over to the mythvideo directory. The problem is, I get really sparse metadata within mythvideo, which I can sorta overcome if create the right filename or path structure for mythvideo to go discover, as documented here: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_File_Parsing">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythVideo_File_Parsing</a><br>
<br>I thought about using storage groups, but I don't really want to ever record
to the NAS, which could happen based on my understanding of how myth prioritizes local and remote storage groups.<br><br>It looks like mytharchive has the ability to archive a recording to a "file" rather than an optical drive. I haven't tried this yet, but I wonder how well this scales if I wanted to archive a whole season of 30 Rock or whatever.<br>
<br>What I would really like to do is select a recording or a bunch of recordings, and in one or two clicks, be able to "archive" the recordings to the NAS, complete with the rich metadata that I get from the original recording(s).<br>
<br>Suggestions appreciated.<br><br>Larry<br><br><br>
