Directives or Directories?

I did this with our monster file services server. But what we did was
design our file server around backup/archive services in that we created
4 MAIN directories and moved the other directories underneath them.

F:\stream1
        5k directories/250GB
F:\stream2
        5k directories/250GB
F:\stream3
        5k directories/250GB
F:\stream4
        5k directories/250GB

If you are using a product like ScriptLogic for drive/printer
assignments it makes it easy to make these changes without the users
even noticing...

Food for thought, hope you don't get food poisoning. /ALE
