Moving recordings

Hi everybody,

I'm in the process of moving a bunch of recordings (500+ GB) to a different
drive before I transfer the drive out of my backend. Both paths are already
set up as paths for recording in mythtv-setup. Do I have to stop the backend
before I do the transfer, or can I leave things running?

Thanks,

Mark

I have never needed to stop anything when moving recordings in my
storage groups.

Are you moving or copying. You wouldn't want to move a recording in
progress. Also I would recommend using rsync. That way you can stop or
restart without losing your progress in case something happened.
Moving 500 GB can take a while. Also you can keep recording and run
rsync one more time just before you switch to catch any of the latest
recordings/changes.
