I've done a search on this forum and read the blogs & manuals that I could find that mention DrivePool's evacuation but I don't see a specific statement to clearify things for me.
Can you tell me if the DrivePool Evacation balancer has the ability to move files off a failing (for what ever reason) HDD that are not within the actual "pool" itself? [the "other" data]
I have left my WHS2011 client computer backups outside of the Pool as I found too many threads / users of DrivePool have thier client backups need to be wiped out and started over to get it into the pool.
The only feature I really want of drivePool for my client backups are to be moved out (Evacuated) if HDD has issues. NOTE: I do have the HDD that has the client backups share outside of the pool (as "other" data) added to the DrivePool.

I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for your assistance!
