I really don't like Windows server backup because it has to occur within 1 drive only, no spanning. I was thinking that I could use drivepool to make a new pool for my backups using other windows software for the backup itself. This software uses standard zip files for backup, however that would make one file that would be in the neighborhood or several terabytes large, which would be bigger than any one drive that I have in my system. Would drivepool be able to handle something like that or not?
I would probably be backing up to an external USB enclosure containing 4 drives and I would like to make them into a backup drivepool. Also, most of the data that I am backing up would be movies, 5 to 6 gig each.
