"MBDataDirectory" field

Is it possible to list more than one data directory in the MBSettings table's "MBDataDiretroy" field?

More general, is it possible for MediaBin to use Assets from multiple drives?

If so, what might be the process for configuring that?

In the: "MediaBin Asset Server Admininstration Guide" in Appendix A it describes the MediaBin System Administration Control Panel Applet (this is accessed via the Control Panel and is not the same as the MediaBin Enterprise Manager application).

This utility will let you move the MBDataDirectory and it will let you set up secondary MBDataDirectories. The most important aspect of the MBDataDirectory is the ImageDB subdirectory where the image data is stored. Basically the program allows you to specify more than one possible location for the ImageDb.

The main requirements (after you have set up the locations) are:

1) Back up first.

2) Never operate with a running MediaBin service. If you have a cluster, ensure that all MediaBin services are shut down.

3) You can reorganize the contents of the ImageDb directory and no directory but the primary has to be writable.
