[QUOTE="mikejaz2, post: 1632971, member: 341250"] I'm doing a major backup of my personal media RAIDset...about 8 TB of home videos, movies, and stuff I want to keep forever. Ultimately, the backup drives will be taken over to a video house and dumped to LTO tape. Each tape comfortably holds about 1.75 TB, so I'm splitting the 8TB from the RAID across 5 2TB drives. Here's the problem...I can't mount all 5 backup drives at once, and so I'd like to find some sort of app which can take a snapshot of the volume catalog..basically, I'd like to have the finder window for each volume available, even when the drive isn't mounted. This way, I could see what files I've copied to what drive, without having to mount and unmount drives constantly, just to check what's on each. Any chance there's something that does this? Anything like this around? The closest I can get currently is a utility called WhatSize, which creates a column view of a volume, which I can then screen grab. However, I'd like something that behaves like a folder window, with the files and folders available interactively (eg, I can click on a disclosure triangle and see the files/folders within).
