Store files on other servers and map to alfresco interface

Hi, We need to be able to add a metadata field to documents added to alfresco. The field would simply be a dropdown with the options 1, 2, 3, and 4. These options reflect the criticality of the documents being restored in case of a disaster.I've been reading the data dictionary guide back and fort

While my situation is probably not as complex as yours (re the designation of criticality to documents), I have also been trying to figure out how to map a documents data store from another server to Alfresco. It's just that our fileserver is much larger than the Alfresco server and in the long run it'll be more convenient to have all the data stored on the current fileserver rather than on the Alfresco machine. Makes backups easier, too.

I'm watching this space! 😃

Take a look at the following post: http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?t=8731. I think that might be your solution.
