That may have the answer that I want but I appear to be too dense to understand it.
What I want is for several of my pooled directories to be duplicated on my cloud drive and not be duplicated anywhere else.
I have a rule for \movies (does it need a drive letter?) that has only the cloud drive selected.
Also I have, under Drive usage limiter, deselected "unduplicated" for the cloud drive but all the other drives have both boxes selected.
Is this enough to assure that the usage is what I want?
Again, to be clear, I want the cloud drive to only contain duplicates and I want the actual streaming to come from one of my local drives and I want no duplication on any of my local drives. To put it another way I want my pool to behave as if the local drives are the primary drive and the cloud drive is the backup only.
I apologize if this is answered effectively elsewhere and therefore wasting someone's time but I could not find and understand a definitive answer if it exists.
