Times to circumvent DrivePool?


fattipants2016

Question

I recently encountered a performance issue when pointing Acronis True Image at a drivepool folder, rather than it's physical location.

I knew Drivepool could act up with certain virus and de-dupe software, but was unaware that backup software could have similar ill effects.

Are there any additional times when I should be sure to side-step DrivePool, and point programs / services directly at the physical disk?

Thank you.

Mostly just backups, encryption, and deduplication.  Basically, if it's a disk tool, then yeah, probably. 

Just keep in mind that if you're writing to the pooled disks, in a pooled location, that it will cause the statistics to become inaccurate, and affect balancing and duplication.
