I have a DrivePool with certain folders duplicated (not the whole pool). Those folders that are duplicated, I also want to backup with Windows Backup to another drive.
This doesn't seem to be possible as I've read somewhere that VSS is not compatible with DrivePool.
The reason I want to use Windows Backup is for file versioning / restoring. Having the files duplicated via DrivePool is great for disk failures, but what if something gets deleted accidentally? Or I want to go back to an earlier version of a file? Windows Backup handles those cases just fine.. which is why I'd like to use it. DrivePool isn't really protecting me from accidental deletion.
See attached screen shot of the error I received while attempting to do the first Windows Backup of the folders in my pool.
If Windows Backup isn't an option to accomplish what I want, does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd party software that can handle file versioning restore points / restore from deletion in conjunction with DrivePool?
