One of these drives is strictly used for backups, ie /dev/sdc holds /home and /dev/sdd is a giant drive that i keep a backup of important items that I would like to have readily available in case of a drive failure. Somewhere in \"add more repositories\" the assistant should be able to create a copy of the repository on the same computer. When I saw the add a removable drive feature i thought it might work but it will not let me select a specific directory. + +Current setup, I have the assistant managing a group of repos: + + /home/me/Videos.Annex + /home/me/Photos.Annex + /home/me/Documents.Annex + + +I access these files via /home/me/DIRECTORY.
