[File duplication from local to cloud possible?]

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I understand now. I'll have a go at this tonight.

Wrt step 4, depending on where the data is right now, this can be done *fast* by disabling the DrivePool service after step 3 and the move the files on the E, F and G drives from the upper hidden PoolPart.* folder to the lower PoolPart.* folder drive by drive. Moving this way is fast. Otherwise you may have a lot of moving/copying between HDDs which is far slower as it really writes files instead of just changing the folders.

Oh, and if you can, do a backup first. 

This is the part that I don't exactly follow. Could you explain it in more detail please? Ive just spent 24hrs moving 3Tb from the 3 drives to the new pool, and now it sounds like its got to be moved again :o(

So at the moment all my media is in Pool A and I can see a duplication of the photos in the hidden folder on the Google drive

I've drawn out what I think you mean....

Just explain the fastest way to move the terabytes of media quickly from Pool A to Pool B?

Thanks

I think I've worked it out.

Added the google drive to to the pool and set the permissions in the balancing section,

 

Then selected which folders I wanted to duplicate.

 

Does that sound about right?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

New user love the product so far. What I'd like to do however is have a folder of my photos that I store locally on a local pool duplicated to a drive/pool Ive created that sits on Google drive, so I know I'll have a backup if my server bursts into flames.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks

Stuart.
