<div dir="ltr">You'd still need to configure the political map tileset not to generate tiles in the symlinked folders but to serve tiles from those folders - I don't think that's possible. IMHO it's better to configure your political map tiles to only be available for a specific range of zoom levels and advertise that explicitly. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Oct 24, 2019 at 3:34 PM Mark Volz <<a href="mailto:MarkVolz@co.lyon.mn.us">MarkVolz@co.lyon.mn.us</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Andreas,<br>

Good idea. It looks like Windows can create symlinks. I suppose I could try symlinking the cache for levels 5-11. Do you know if I would need to create hard or soft links to do this? Also, I would like to make sure our backup software does not try to backup the actual data twice...<br>

><br>
><br>
><br>

><br>
><br>
><br>
> Example #1:<br>
><br>
> Political and Air Photo Basemap:<br>
><br>
> * Zoom level 0-4: Use the cache from the "political map<br>
> cache"<br>
><br>
> * Zoom level 5-11: Use the cache from the "air photo<br>
> cache"<br>
><br>
> Air Photo Basemap<br>
><br>
> * Zoom level 0-11: Use the cache from the "air photo<br>
> cache"<br>
><br>
> Result:<br>
><br>
> * Any tiles at level 5-11, which will take up the majority<br>
> of the space on the sever will not need to be duplicated between the <br>
> two tilesets.<br>
><br>
