drivepool + windows ransomware protection

[rassimmoc]

Hi,

I am using Drivepool+snapraid setup and I am already protecting parity with Windows Ransomware protection.

How can I do the same for other drives? Should I add PoolDrive or all drives in a pool to Protected forlders?

How do I specify DrivePool to be allowed to write to drives in a pool?

 

Thanks

I would recommend adding the pooled drives, and not the pool.  That is where the actual data resides.

You shouldn't need to.  The Pool basically redirects the file system commands to the underlying disk, so the Ransomware protection should work as normal.

Thank you.

In effort to protect drives I created script that sets archive drives to readonly, and only ssd (cache drives) are writable. But when when I tried to add subfolder to existing folder on pooldrive I got an error about write protected drive.

I though that as long as ssd has enough space, it is used for all incoming writes.

After I disabled readonly on archive drives, it worked and content was added to ssd. How come drivepool wanted write access to archive drives and than saved file to ssd?
