Client is a design firm with thousands of Illustrator files spread across about five non-RAID external SCSI drives, most with partitions, attached to G4 server. SCSI cards will have to go in upcoming OS X migration, drives are old, so a new RAID array is being considered.
Our main concern is: How do we move thousands of Illustrator files and all their linked files, which are spread over so many volumes, all to one (or fewer, or differently named) logical RAID volume while preserving all those links?
From what we can see now, a new storage solution would have to have the same number of volumes with the exact same names.
I'm thinking there's got to be a way through this and that some of you have been there!
Assume for the moment there are arguments for eventually ending up on either one volume, fewer volumes, or renamed volume(s). Is there no way to move all this stuff without the links being lost?
Of course, going through later and re-establishing broken links is out of the question. Would take months of work.
