Roland,
I've only just discovered disParity and I think it's brilliant in it's ease of use!
I have a question/feature suggestion:
I have 3 data drives and a soon to be parity drive.
On the data drives I don't need all the folders to be in disParity.
On my first drive I have the following folders:
E:
|>TV
|>Movies
|>Photos
|>Documents
I would like to use disparity to help protect photos and documents, but not the other two.
Is that possible?
Hi lmaolmao,
No, unfortunately this is a limitation of disParity right now. On a particular drive you can only protect either the root, or one folder, so everything on that drive you want to protect must be underneath that. (Of course, you *can* technically specify each folder separately in config.txt, but that will create a dangerous situation where you will not be protected if that drive fails, so don't do it!)
I believe some users have successfully used a Windows concept known as a junction point as another way to solve this problem. In short, you create a single directory on your drive, called something like "MyData" or whatever, and then under that, you create junction points to the folders that you want to protect. Then you protect the single "MyData" folder in disParity. I haven't tried this myself though so I can't vouch for it completely.
thanks for the fast reply Roland. I'm going to put all my data I want to protect on each drive into a sub folder.
Thanks again for making such an elegant solution.
