[Speed up duplication process]

Hi,

I've been a DrivePool users since it first came out (converted from WHS, then DriveBender).  Overall, I've never really been impressed with the speed of it's duplication process.  This is rarely a concern, as I've only ever lost 1 drive and adding drives isn't time sensitive.

However, I'm trying to upgrade the hardware on my file server this weekend and after removing 3 drives (to replace with another 3 higher-capacity units), the duplication process has been stuck at 57% for 24-48 hours.  I have about 13TB of actual data among 3 drives with total capacity of 30TB (2 12TB Red Plus + 1 8TB Gold).

Is there a way to speed up this process to complete faster.  The dashboard doesn't show any files open or anything other than the current folder being "worked on" when I hover the mouse over the progress bar.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks all for the help.  I was able to use Recuva to get (I think) everything back after turning off balancing and performing deep scan on the individual drives.

[File Recovery Tools compatible with DrivePool?]

Hello all,

I did the typical "D'oh, I should have known better" mistake, while organizing my files (renaming, cataloguing) on a pool before initiating a manual backup, I did a SHIFT-DELETE and deleted about 200GB of data on the wrong window.  I haven't saved or done anything else on that pool, so I'm sure the data is there somewhere, but I'm having a hard time finding a proper tool that can read the Pool properly.

Recuva doesn't recognize the "drive".  EASEUS Recovery seems to be taking forever and hasn't "found" anything yet after 3 hours.  R-Studio didn't find anything and only reported the pool as 2TB, but it's actually 50TB.  

Do I need to remove the drives from the pool individually and run the scans that way or is there a software package that will work as expected.

Many thanks!
