Need some tips on cloud backups: I'm running a drivepool with 2x duplication, and would like to create a secondary cloud backup for critical files. These files are in a specific folder, where I've turned on 3x duplication (e.g. 2x local, 1x cloud). Specifically, the cloud drive should only store files with 3x duplication.
Tried fiddling around with the settings, but Drivepool keeps wanting to move files with 2x duplication over to the cloud. Or rather that's what I think, because it's proposing to move 1TB of data from my HDD pool to the cloud (my filesizes are below that).
My approach of doing this:
1) Limit the cloud drive to only duplicated files (Balancing section)
2) In the Placement Rules section, set the root folders to not use the cloud drive, but create a separate rule that sets the specific sub-folder to use the clouddrive. The subfolder rules are ordered above the root folder rules.
3) Turn on 3x duplication for the specific folders
Thanks again, and happy holidays!
EDIT: I went ahead with the duplication, and worked after all. What I realised was that the re-balancing wasn't correct. I get the same issue below.
Furthermore, when I click on the "increase priority" arrow in Drivepool, the duplication process speeds up but Clouddrive's uploads dramatically slow down. Any idea why?

Clouddrive: 1.0.0.0.784 BETA
Drivepool: 2.2.0.737 BETA
Furthermore, when I click on the "increase priority" arrow in Drivepool, the duplication process speeds up but Clouddrive's uploads dramatically slow down. Any idea why?
