I know I could use a tool like Create-Synchronicity to force 1 other directory to match the source, but I would prefer to find and list the differences in the directories.
Maybe powershell can help?

Yeah, PowerShell can help with this in the same way closing the front door of a house will fix a fire inside of it.

AID 10 on Linux File Server machine, how can I speed up this NFS storage by an intelligent
cache, for example I wish to add another 250 GB SSD to act as cache, how will tha

Yeah the RAID 10 is on HDD, due to cost effectiveness. Will check LVM since its baked in.

Not legal. You can't legally use Windows Server for production purposes without it being licensed.

Also I dont see any licensing options for file server role, FYI.

It's not a role. To license the use of any non-hypervisor functionality the license is a full Windows Server license.

Might be worth adding a media retention policy, I imagine you do the same for video which is far more expensive to store the raw, so add it for photography.

We don't have a written in stone policy, this kind of thing has to be flexible with the type of work, length and size of project. Generally for most clients it's gone within 30-90 days of final payment (which is when they get the deliverables). Broadcast TV stuff (not commercials) is usually kept a bit longer due to the nature of it.

Photoshoots are done in raw as well, and can easily be a few hundred gigs from one shoot.

I agree - that type of message just tells me that I don't want to partner with you. But it is a form of cold calling...

It sure is, something that we block completely. There is good and bad cold calling, though. If you cold call me and ask to speak to me, I'm not going to be pissed, I'll just hang up. But if you cold call and demand to set something up rather than politely asking if we can.... we are done and you are actively blocked and will never get our business.

There is legitimate sales and downright unprofessional "never do business with them" sales. A company doing these tactics definitely does not believe in their own product and is trying to get sales through an intimidation style rather than through presenting a good product.
