  1. Well, my new drive is in, but I'm still having problems with my backups. The backup service still seems to be randomly turning off. I cannot manually backup anything and the backup repair wizard seems stuck.
  2. drashna: Thanks so much for the insight. I will try that. I should share an update. Tonight, I upgraded my version of DrivePool (I was running a very early version) and the new version seems to be automatically moving files off of the damaged drive onto the healthy ones. (And, interestingly enough, the "bad" disk is no longer listed as "missing" it's now listed in the pool as "damaged".) I will still replace that drive when the re-balancing is done, but it's an interesting development.
  3. Hi. I'm running WHS 2011 on my HP Microserver n40L. I've got three 2TB drives pooled using DrivePool. Last week, I started having troubles running scheduled and manual WHS backups on all of my clients. At the same time, noticed that the WHS backup service seemed to be radomly turning off. After some research I determined that I might be having a problem with one of my drives. (I believe I read that if a drive is going bad, WHS won't run the backup service). I installed StableBit Scanner and, sure enough, discovered that one my 2TB drives had some bad sectors and the SMART data indicated problems. After using Scanner to attempt to repair the files and repair the disk, I noticed that the disk in question now appears as "missing" in DrivePool. I can still access the disk but cannot "add" it back. I've got a new disk on the way and I'd like to figure out the best way to replace/restore the damaged disk. Some of the files in DrivePool located on the damaged disk are not duplicated. Some of those files I don't care about but others I do. Fortunately, I use WHS to perform twice daily backups of the entire Server (including all of the drives). Can you help me map out a plan? It seems as though I'll need to "remove" the missing drive (on DrivePool and then physically from the server box) and install the new drive. [i guess I could also add the new drive first - using a an external enclosure - and then remove the bad drive from the box and then take the new drive out of the enclosure and move it into the box.] Should I then use the WHS server backup to restore just that drive? When should I "add" the new drive to the Pool. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
