Create removable disk pool

[stuart475898]

Hello,

 

So I finally snapped up some 4TB external drives in today's sales, and I want to use them for off site backups. To do this, I would like to bring them home, plug them into the storage server and then simply robocopy everything on. If I create a new pool solely for these disk, will drive pool 'gracefully' handle them being disconnected when I take them off site, and then reconnected every couple of weeks when they are brought home?

 

Thanks for the help

Although mine are not external drives, I have mine set up similar to what your wanting. I have multiple pools. I call my two main pools NAS001 and NAS002. I also have backups pools that reside on totally separate chassis called BKP001 and BKP002. After my backups are done, I simply disconnect that JBOD chassis and the pool just doesn't show up till it's reconnected. Drivepool doesn't seem to care.

 

Hope that helps.

As CyberSkulls has said.

 

As long as these disks are the only disks in the pool, and you're moving all of the disks,  there shouldn't be an issue with this.
