Yes, but I want it to duplicate as part of my DP. Total drivepool size is 192 TB, and I don't want to manually determine which media files are copied to the NAS. I want a solution that has the NAS as part of the DP, included in the duplicated files, where I can specify which folders get duplicated on the NAS. So I need a way of adding a NAS to the DP, and it be readable from third party devices.
Example:
DrivePool has 5 folders, 2 of which are media folders. Four folders are set up for 2x duplication, and one folder is set up for 3x duplication. I want my NAS to count towards the duplication count, and its spare capacity leveraged into the DP. I can set balancing rules to only have the media folders on the NAS from DP, or at least that be the primary location for them, and then I don't have to store the files manually and copy them around when I want to watch them, in addition to managing their duplication.
I believe that was part of the original design intent of CD, or at least an option thereof. And it takes way, way too long to rebuild/recovery when CD loses network connectivity. Days is not okay, even if 13 TB.
