hierarchical pool (cloud and local) duplication

[madbuda]

Doing some consolidation and have come to the point where I want 2 x dupe local and 1x dupe to cloud drive

Using hierarchical pools can I set duplication on the local pool to achieve this?

Problem is I have some folders I want duped to the cloud & local and some I want just local

Yes, so say you have 2 HDDs and 1 cloud thing. What you could do is:

1. Create Pool O with 2xHDD, x2 dup

2. Create Pool P with the cloud thing as one drive and Pool O as the other, x2 dup

Anything you write to Pool O will be duplicated locally

Anythin you write to Pool Q will be duplicated, so one copy on O and one on the cloud thing, but... As Pool O is x2 dup itself, it will write to both HDDs, so x3 dup really.
