HI Jeff, how large is the Pool, the backup destination and do you use duplication?
Edit: Ah, the original post says it does. In that case, you might rearrange your Pool hierarchical. E.g.
unduplicated Pool A: DIsk 1 and Disk 2
unduplicated Pool B: DIsk 3 and Disk 4 and DIsk 5 Duplicated Pool C: Pool A and Pool B.
Then you would backup either the HDDs of Pool A or those of Pool B, whichever takes your fancy. THis is what I do with my WHS2011 Server (although, it is rather small storage-wise)
@Umfriend: I'm with @ikon in that I'm intrigued by your suggestion. Would you mind explaining it a bit further?
Recommended server backup method?
