fattipants2016 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 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.

1 Christopher (Drashna) Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 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.
