I am planning to use the built in backup for Server Essentials. I understand that I cannot select the drivepool drive for backups and I must use the actual physical drives. My issue is that I have some of my folders selected for 2x or 3x duplication across 4 3tb drives. If I select the physical drives then I am copying the data 2 or 3 times to 1 backup drive (hope that makes sense?) Is there a way to make sure that all of the data is located on one of the four drives and is then duplicated? This way I can select that 1 drive for backup on server essentials, instead of selecting all of them. I need to do this so I have a drive to take offsite In case of a disaster.
