Only duplicates on a CloudDrive

$

I know this has been asked before - I've even read a few threads on it, but I still can't seem to find a 100% "for sure" answer...

 

What I have in my pool is this:

Drive A - local drive

Drive B - local drive

Drive C - local drive

Drive D - clouddrive

 

What I want:

1) All my files to be saved to drives A, B and C

2) Folders that I choose to duplicate ONLY to be duplicated to drive D

 

What I don't want:

1) Duplicates on any of my local drives.

2) Non-duplicated files on drive D

 

The thread here:  http://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/1231-how-do-i-keep-duplicated-data-on-the-pool-but-other-copies-anywhere-else/

is suggesting that I don't change the Drive Usage Limiter balancer, and just create rules for only the folders I want duplicated. In those rules I would ONLY choose drive D.

In doing that, am I not limiting that folder to only be saved to drive D? It's not making much sense to me. How does that put just the duplicates on drive D and allow the "original" file to go on drives A, B or C - when they're all unchecked?

 

Hopefully someone has a definitive answer for this as it's not very clear.

 

Thanks!
