Ok so I created a 100GB drive on a file share clouddrive on my second WHS 2011 server. The aim was to use this drive as a backup location for my main WHS 2011 box. When I try to backup using it I get I/O error device.
So couple of questions, is it even feasible to use it in this way? I wanted to utilise a network location without the restriction of only one backup as per using a network share normally.
Would it even be of any use if my main box failed and I need to access the cloudrive share to retrieve the backup? I'm thinking maybe not given how the files would be stored.
