NI Library updates on multiple volumes for redundancy

I have my NI Libraries on external SSD's. I have created a mirror copy on a second volume both for backup and portability as my default SSD stays in the control room connected to a thunderbolt hub. When using Native Access and updating libraries in particular (as the all other files are on my local volume), I have found I can only update one volume. When switching to my second volume for NA updates, it registers as completed even though the newer files are not installed on that volume. I tried uninstalling and installing one instrument, but NA copies the original version a second time. How can I override this so both volumes are up to date.


Thanks

    You can only update one volume with Native Access. I'd let NA update your main volume first then sync changes to the second volume manually. I've used Goodsync for similar situations, letting it do a one-way sync from the master volume to the secondary/backup volume.
