[Help with a few questions]

Hi, been using Drivepool for a number of years. 

 

I have been using Folder duplication and setting the duplication levels on each folder manually. If i now enable Pool Duplication what will happen with the folder duplication that i have set 3x duplication?

 

 

 

Also i am looking at replacing a few drives. what is the best procedure without causing errors?

 

Add new drive to pool to create the pool folder

Turn off Drivepool services 

Copy files from old Pool drive to new

Turn on drivepool serivce

remove old drive from pool

 

 

and finally is there anyway to have the lowest nested folder to be stored on the same drive rather than spread across all drives?

just some more info, i have my folders setup like

 

HDD1 > Movies > A > A Team > ateam.mkv

 

for some reason its balancing by creating thumbs.db on HDD2, HDD3 etc

Hi, i have 5 drives in my pool and i want to keep certain data on certain drives. i've disabled balancing but drivepool is constantly trying to balance data.
