My home server runs Windows 10 Pro, with DrivePool used to manage five drives. I historically used CrashPlan to back up all the pooled data from virtual drive P: to the cloud, and also to a local NAS. Since CrashPlan has exited the consumer market, I'm redoing my backup approach.
I'm now using BackBlaze to back up the pool to the cloud, and had planned to use Windows 10's File History to backup to the local NAS. However, File History won't allow me to select anything from the pooled drive. How do you recommend I perform local, automated backups of the pool?
Edit: It has been suggested that each individual drive's PoolPart directory be backed up, but that's not feasible, as the duplication exceeds the NAS' storage capacity!
