Re: Not sure how to do this - SBS2003 Server

Unix/Linux environments have always supported doing such linking
(symbolic/hard) of directories on disparate hard drives. It's interesting to
note that when you create a Windows shortcut, the suffix for such shortcuts
is ".lnk"

Mark Russinovich (SysInternals) does have a utility called "Junction" that
may help you:

My concern with your network appliance is whether it's designed for frequent
use by multiple users or was it designed for essentially backing up data to
it? There are stories "out there" about the wide spectrum of reliability
with these type of drives. I'm not saying "don't do it", but rather "be
careful".

I have a server which all the data for my company resides. Hard disks are
getting full and I need to expand my data storage.

I have purchased a small network appliance that sits on the network and
appears as \\device\shares when I look at the network.

My data resides at \\data\data\ . I was wondering if there was a way to
LINK the two directories together to share it.

This would be on my local network and not across a wan.

I thought DFS was the way, but everything I have read on DFS makes it
appear as a REPLICATION tool for remote sites.

I just need to add more space to \\data\data.

Yes, purchasing new hard drives and moving everything over to that could
be an option if the drives weren't already as large as the machine would
let it be.

Thanks

Les
