I want to duplicate my current pool in a different location (without paying for a cloud service). I managed to pick up a 5 Bay Orico external USB enclosure for a really good price. I have a separate building in which I will eventually connect the Orico to a different computer than my current server which is running Drivepool. These will be connected over a home network (Cat 6) with 1GB LAN.
My current pool is 20TB (10TB duplicated). I now have enough drives/space in the Orico and want to achieve the following :
- Full initial copy of the current pool by connecting the Orico to my current Server
- Ongoing mirror so that both the Server with the internal drives and existing DrivePool and the remote computer with the Orico attached are exact replicas
- Be able to read locally from the DrivePool at the new computer (ie its not only for Backup)
Now my questions :
- Whats the best way to initially duplicate the pool? Set-up a new Pool and then just copy in File Manager?
- How should I set-up the remote sync - would I need cloud Drive for that?
- Would I also need DrivePool on the new computer (if I'm using Cloud Drive)?
- Is there a deal on the bundle (DP, Scanner, CD) for existing customers?
