I'm planning to use my pooling software DrivePool in a way that makes the most sense to me personally:
Simply pooling all my internal HDDs (4 x 3TB) and configure DrivePool so it fills up one drive after another.
Then I can easily make backups in an external single HDD case.
If one drive in the pool is full, then I archive the corresponding backup HDD and continue backing up the next HDD from the pool with a another new backup HDD, and so forth.
Does that sound reasonable and most important: does it work?
I'm still on the fence if it'll work because I practically have to robocopy a single drive from the pool with its hidden folder structure and don't know if I can easily replace a corrupted pooled drive with my corresponding backup drive.
Does PoolDrive detect the hidden folder and automatically knows what to do with it?
