I am having the same problem with the permissions denied error on the storageconfiguration.xml file(s), on my WHS 2011 server, and am unable to find that file. As a result, DrivePool is unable to duplicate.
My configuration is as follows:
C: drive (program files, usual Windows stuff)
D: drive - one of two 4TB drives for the pool - VSS is enabled on this drive
F: drive - two of two 4TB drives for the pool
G: drive - the Pooled drive
I have searched all my drives and folders, and have enabled hidden and system files, and cannot find the file called storageconfiguration.xml anywhere. Even searching with Windows has zero results.
Is there a suggested course of action? I am considering removing one of the drives from my pool, then re-adding it. Would that help?
