nukem2k5 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 When you change the duplication from 1x to something else, and DP proceeds in placing duplicate copies of files onto other drives, does it use hash verification to ensure that the duplicate copies truly match the source files?

0 Christopher (Drashna) Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It uses the Windows API to copy the file over to the drive. This does, in theory some checking. If you want additional checking (which to be blunt, generally, isn't needed), you can turn on the "DrivePool_VerifyAfterCopy" value in the advanced config file, which adds an additional check when balancing or duplicating files. However, there is a slight performance penalty for doing so, and if there are a lot of files, this can be compounded severely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
