  1. @srcrist

    I am little bit confused.

    Not sure if I setup the correct way.

    So created 1 CloudDrive, with duplication and encryption, then created smaller volumes on it using Disk Manger.

    I put these smaller volumes into their own CloudDrivePool (Z:)

    Then created a new MainDrivePool (P:) that consists of CloudDrivePool (Z:) and LocalDrivePool (Q:)

    I selected Folder Duplication on MainDrivePool (P:) and choose the Folders I want duplicated.

    Which other Setting / Balancers do I need to use to ensure that the data in those folders need to be on the LocalDrivePool (Q:) and on CloudDrivePool (Z:)?

    NB: On CloudDrivePool (Z:) - The only balancer I have active is Disk Space Equalizer, Equalize by Disk space remaining. Equalizing duplicated and un-duplicated files

    Thanks

  2. Hi

    I need some advice on how to setup a GDrive CloudDrive to duplicate a local drivepool.
    I have been using DrivePool and Scanner for over a year now and really happy with it.
    Using the latest beta versions of all 3 products.
    Currently I have 5x HDD's and 1x 250GB SSD cache in a local drivepool (Q:) and I have all Balancers on:
    1. SSD Optimizer
    2. StableBit Scanner
    3. Disk Space Equalizer
    4. Volume Equalization
    5. Drive Usage Limiter
    6. Prevent DriveOverfill
    7. Duplication Space Optimizer

    I currently do not have any duplication taking place on the local pool (Q:), but I will setup a specific folder for important data to be duplicated. The rest is not so critical, mostly media files.

    I would like to setup a GDrive CloudDrive to duplicate some folders, with full drive encryption on.
    This where I get lost on what type of config to use.
    Is there a best practice guide on this?
    1. Do I create 1 big GDrive? +-100TB or more
    2. Create smaller ones and put them a drivepool of their own?

    Section I'm not so sure on when creating a CloudDrive:
    Part 1:
    Data duplication: ?
    Local Cache Drive: 100GB Same SSD cache drive part of the local drivepool (Q)
    Sector Size: ?
    Storage chunk size: ?
    Chunk cache size: ?
    File System: ?
    Cluster Size: ?

    Part 2:
    Current internet speed, Fibre 200mbps down / 100mbps up. ( May change in a month or 2)
    I/O Manager
    Download Threads: ?
    Upload Threads: ?
    Download Throttling: ?
    Upload Throttling: ?
    Upload threshold: ?
    Minimum downlaod size: ?

    Prefetcher
    Enabled / Disabled: ?
    Prefetch Trigger: ?
    Prefetch forward: ?
    Prefetch time windows: ?

    I take it that once this setup and the next step will be to create a hybrid pool with localpool + cloudpool and setup folder duplication on the cloudpool, using Drive Usage limiter... Is that correct?

    *BTW is it possible to add local and cloud path directories to a Plex library, with the same data?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
