Synchronise with hard disk

[erwin]

I want to keep my mp3 collection synchronised with another computer in the network for backup reasons. Is that possible ?

[Peke]

Could you be more speciufic what exactly you mean by sync on other computer e.i. MP3s, library or something else?

[erwin]

I want to synchronise all mp3's with another hard disk drive (same way you would with an USB drive or Ipod or Mp3 player)

I want to keep an exact copy of all mp3s for backup reason .

This is possible using the USB plug-in, it can be configured to be used with any drive letter.

To elaborate on Jiri's comment:

1) Map a drive letter to the intended directory using Windows (see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... 82&sd=tech )

2) Configure the Generic USB Plugin to synchronize to that drive (see: http://www.mediamonkey.com/sw/webhelp/n ... ration.htm )

Hi!

this does not seem to work for me with IDE-Drives? Why?

I can configure a USB2 drive but not an IDE dirve. I've tried that with different ones and on a different PC.
IDE drives simply do not appear. After klicking on "find device" in "device configuration" there comes an Device ID but the device does not appear as the nod.

Don't use find device, just select the drive letter above, that's it.

@jiri:

i did select the letter before clicking on find and ive tried it without klickin on "find device" and nothing happens with IDE drives.

ok, a fresh install did the trick and now it seems to work ok....thanks!
