Backup WHS 2011 TO Drive Pool

[dhochmuth]

I've searched but cannot find (perhaps I missed it) whether it is possible to back a WHS 2011 to a Drive Pool.  

 

I created a pool and it was listed in the Server Backup options as a Virtual Disk.  But when I selected it I received a dialog box telling me that I had selected a drive that was on multiple disks which would be reformatted and all data lost.  Since I had existing data, I stopped. Is there some change in procedure needed?

 

I'm trying to reduce the frequency of physically carrying my backups off site by creating a larger drive to receive the backup files.

 

Thanks.

Not really.   Because of how the backup works, it doesn't really work on the pool.
