Using Launchbox from a server

[Gumdoc]

Hi all,

Was hoping to get some advice from the experts here. 

My current setup is a 12 TB almost-full external drive that I can move around to the 3 computers that I use. However, to really get my collection to where I want it to be, I'm probably going to need a good 30-40 TB.

Recently, a client of mine went out of business and was kind enough to gift me a 96 TB (!) server, 8 X 12 TB drives. So, I'd like to use that server to store LB and access it from each workstation. So, a couple of questions:

1. What's the best way to move the LB folder to the server and keep the paths intact? If I copy the entire external drive LB folder and give the server drive the same letter as the external drive, should it work out of the box?

2. If I decide to just do a clean install, what's the ideal configuration? Install everything on the server and just map it from each workstation? Install LB locally on each workstation and just put the ROMS on the server? Full install on server but image cache on each workstation? Something else? All devices are connected with Cat 6 and a gigabit switch.

Appreciate any help with this, I've installed LB so many times I've lost count but with that amount of data, would want to make sure I do it right the first time.

TIA
