I have a master disk (Backed up x 3) containing Music/Video/Karaoke and what I do currently is update the master disk with new tracks etc and then I use Syncovery to synchronise these down further to 2 individual disks - one for Music/Karaoke and one for Video.
The reason being is that I don't always provide video for every gig and it usually requires a large hard drive allocation.
The problem comes when keeping the databases for each disk drive up-to-date.
Short of creating three partitions on the original disk I cannot see and efficient way of maintaining the databases for each disk drive.
If anyone else has this issue I would love to know what you would do in this instance.
Thank you in advance.

Thinking this through (as you do) I wonder if it would be better to sync the master database to each "Live" HDD and then remove the missing tracks in the browser settings

That is the option I choose with some of my drives. In my case I backed up Karaoke on one drive, video and music on a second. I would then start up VDJ with all of the drives plugged in. I then had VDJ remove missing files.

thank you for your reply - seems the best way to do it.
