Hmm... I had not thought of backing up the actual physical drive since I have them hidden with no drive letters. And yes... I have 4x drive duplication enabled and the drives should be an exact copy of each other. So if I understand correctly, I can just pick any of the 4 drives and back that up to Backblaze B2, correct? So I would not even need to use cloud drive. I think that would be the perfect solution. Thanks for your help!

I recently upgraded my home server and moved away from Windows 10 to Windows Server 2022. To my dismay, my personal Backblaze account does not work with Windows Server. After further research, it seems the solution is to upgrade to Backblaze B2. But I quickly realized that Backblaze B2 with Cloudberry also does not work to backup DrivePool drives because it is considered a "Volume Shadow Copy". I think I have a solution that might work, using drivepool with clouddrive and Backblaze, but I wanted to confirm with the Stablebit user community. My current drivepool configuration consists of four 3TB hard drives that are duplicated four times. My thought was to create a fifth 3TB CloudDrive that I would pool with my existing drives and change the duplication to 5 times. This way I would have 4 physical 3tb harddrives and one virtual 3tb harddrive. The virtual drive should automatically sync with backblaze B2. In case of a failure, I could restore the clouddrive in a new machine. My second question is whether the 3TB clouddrive actually takes up 3tb of space in backblaze. If I only have 1.5tb of files, will I be charged for the 1.5tb of usage or the full 3tb drive. Let me know if this though process is flawed or if it should work. Thanks for your help!

My stablebit CloudDrive license is no longer working? How can I get assistance on my license? I have my receipt that shows I purchased CloudDrive. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello everyone... I tried researching the answer to my question, but could not find the solution I needed. Basically I is dedicated to the operating system. I then have 4 WD Red drives that are 3TB each solely dedicated to drive pool. These 4 drives are pooled togehter and duplicated 4 times. I know this is overkill, but better safe than sorry... [Current setup] SSD Drive - OPERATING SYTEM ONLY WD Red 3TB - DRIVE POOL WD Red 3TB - DRIVE POOL WD Red 3TB - DRIVE POOL WD Red 3TB - DRIVE POOL I think I just need to do a clean install and reformat my C drive which is the SSD drive. I don't think that by doing this my data will be deleted from my WD Red drives. However, I found another thread where technical support recommended removing the hard drives (http://community.covecube.com/index.php?/topic/1199-reinstallation-of-windows-os/?hl=reinstall). However, removing the hard drives is somewhat labor intensive for me and I would prefer to leave them intact. Here is my understanding of the steps to do a clean install: 1. Deactivate Stablebit license 2. Do a clean install of Windows 10 while reformatting my SSD drive 3. Reintall Drive Pool and activate with license. 4. Drive Pool should automatically recognize my WD Red drives? Could someone confirm these steps? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Edgar
