I've been running DrivePool on my Windows Server 2016 Essentials just fine. My pool is all ReFS. To date I've kept my Windows Server "ServerFolders" on a separate physical HDD outside the pool and occasionally I've had to get a larger HDD to fit these folders as they get larger over time. I also have a separate HDD that is also used to backup the OS and the "ServerFolders" HDD. I was thinking that I "could" do the following but is it a good idea?
1) Put the "ServerFolders" on the DrivePool with 2 x Duplication
2) Just backup the Windows Server OS drive to a backup drive.
Does this make sense or is there an issue I'm unaware of?
