Option to save recorded track on another drive?


Recommended Posts

Rather than filling up or burning up an SSD with repeated recordings and deletions, is there an option to save tracks to another drive like a good old spare spinner drive?

 

Just a thought.

use a program called steammover or manually move the folder to a different drive  and create a mklink or a symbolic link

i would manually move the file after making a back up first. This  example is for my B:\ drive moving tracks to G:\ drive...

Hope this helps. Enter the script below or create a one of batch file to run at the cmd prompt

 

xcopy /E /V /I /F /Y "B:\GAMES\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\Tracks" "G:\Tracks"
cmd /C rd /S /Q "B:\GAMES\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\Tracks"
cmd /C mklink /J "B:\GAMES\1C Game Studios\IL-2 Sturmovik Great Battles\data\Tracks" "G:\Tracks"

 

Here's the website if you don't want the hassle of a manually doing it. It works great https://www.traynier.com/software/steammover

You don't really need all those commands.   You just create a folder called 'Tracks' (or anything really) and (optionally) do a simple copy of the track files into it using file manager then use MKLINK to redirect everything to it.
