I'm a new user here, planning my server build and will be purchasing DrivePool + Scanner combo when my NAS is built. Most of my data is already duplicated which I manage manually using external hard disks.
e.g.
disk1 - \data
\docs
\movies_backup
disk2 - \data_backup
\pics_backup
\movies
disk3 - \pics
\docs_backup
I'd like to add these disks to DrivePool so that it already knows where the duplicated copy of the data is kept, and so doesn't have to duplicate it initially (since that'll be am expensive step). After that of course I'll let it manage the duplication part. I'm ok with changing the folder names if needed.
Is this possible?
Also is it possible to keep some of the duplicated data on external drives, and have the duplication run once the drive is connected?
