OK. I don't know what this is doing or why but it doesn't seem to be what I want. I reinstalled and reconfigured. J:\ (full of data) and G:\ (empty) added to pool (F:\) and set up for pool duplication. Moved folders with 122GB of data into pool. It started duplicating and everything seemed good. Then after 58GB was duplicated it stopped with a duplication inconsistent warning and seemed to hang. I tried to kick it off with a re-measure and then it started balancing and moving files. Now I have unduplicated data on G:\. So what, it moves data from J: to G: and now it will have to copy it back to duplicate? Does this product really work? thanks, -tom

Thank you. I think I see my problem now. I was planning on using folder duplication in which case I'd add the folder and then duplicate it. When I read about pool replication and decided to use it, I forgot about adding the folders to the pool. I should move the data to the F:\PoolPart... directory, not to DrivePool(I:) ? If I move the data to the PoolPart dir it won't be accessible by F:/folder/file anymore but as I:\folder\file or F:\PoolPart\folder\file. So, if I want the data to still be accessible with the old path I should change my drive letter first and then assign F: to the DrivePool? Is this what most people do? Why aren't the PoolPart directories removed when I remove the drives from a pool? thanks, Tom

Just purchased DrivePool and Scanner. DrivePool doesn't seem to be working for me. I have a simple setup, 2 4TB disks, F: and G:. F: has data, G: is empty. I've added them both to a pool (DrivePool (I:)) and set them up for pool file duplication but nothing is duplicated. In the file explorer G: has folders, PoolPart.69b1b0b9-ec3e-4d68-b763-091ae3cf340b and PoolPart.074c5ac1-95e9-4345-a513-e2f61a9e17a1 but no data. In explorer DrivePool (I:) only shows the Recycle Bin. Is this normal? I had also created a second DrivePool and then removed it. It seems gone from DrivePool but Explorer still shows DrivePool(J:) and it can't be deleted. thanks, -tom
