Good day. So I've read several pages of the forums, and I still have a few questions about DrivePool. These have probably been answered already but I suck at searching, and I can probably infer some of the answers, but anyway, here goes... 1. System Drive (re)Imaging: Does DrivePool save any pool state information in AppData? What if I image my system drive, then use the system for a week, changing things in the pool, and then later, restore that image; will the pool, in its later state, survive? For me DrivePool must NOT save any pool state information outside of the pool. I understand it uses ADS to store things, so I guess we're ok, but I want to make sure, as I re-Image my system frequently (say from last week's image, not from a fresh install obviously, as I'd lose everything). 2. MultiBoot: I plan to boot between W7 and W10 (and even W7/32 and W7/64); I'd like to have the DP pool running on all OS'es, is that possible? From what I've read DrivePool will "discover" the pool if one exists already, but just as with re-Imaging, pool state must not be saved on the system partition or this will not work; so will it be ok? 3. MultiBoot-Licenses: Do I need a separate License for each O/S? What if I name my computer the same in each? 4. Reparse Points (hey Drashna): I saw you say that hardlinks are not supported. But the following post says they are: http://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/279-stablebit-drivepool-reparse-points/ 4. Alternate Data Streams: As I understand it, you use ADS to store stuff around the pool (very clever). I frequently run a tool that deletes all ADS from all files (and folders) - e.g. to get rid of that stupid ZONE attribute. Can I still run this tool on the pool? i.e. will the pool preserve its own ADS and let me delete the other tags? Obviously I must NOT run this on the underlying drives, but via the pool are we good? 5. Modifying the pool offline: Can I dump a file in a subfolder of the PoolPart folder while the pool is offline (or even while it's online, but via the real drives rather than via the pool) and all will be ok? Obviously duplication will not trigger and it will be detected later if I "measure" the pool, but I can do this, right? I may want to save partition images in a folder inside the pool while I am booted in WinPE; wanna make sure this is fine (no duplication) and that the files WILL show-up later throught the pool once I reboot...
Thank you.
Best Regards,
