Thanks for the reply. I found I think new options in the later SW version and set DP for 3 duplications. It finished that overnight. 8 hours later I have a message saying a disk is missing. It's one of the 2 M2's I added yesterday. When I try identifying there is no result - but you can see that there is a drive available to add which is the subject NVME but the identification is shortened and its now marked unallocated. Status of duplication is unclear since its all grey now. It's now a dilemma how to proceed. I can't read the drive and I suppose that any next step will destroy the data. Perhaps its duplicated, but maybe not. Would you care to provide me guidance - thanks.

I have 3 large spinners and 2 X 2T M2's set up in my pool. I could easily use 4X duplication, but I'm currently balancing for for3 in the hope that each copy is on at least on its own drive. What would be best to preserve and protect my stuff, file or folder duplication and 2 or 3 or 4 times duplication? Thanks

I don't have an answer more a question. In my case I have 11.9TB duplicated and 5.1TB other. Could you detail a little more about dealing with previous versions. Would this be done from the pooled drive or the individual spinner? Today, I realized you had newer versions of DP so I just manually updated to 2.3.1.1448 from 2.2.5.1237. Automatic updates had not worked. Also, I added 2 -2TB NVME M2 drives and set rebalance to 3 copies - strange thing is, the M2's seem to be ignored so far.
