Mr Ethernet Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I've got a BitLocker-encrypted file (VHDX extension) and want it duplicated in case one of my disks fails. Am I okay to just enable duplication and have the entire VHDX file duplicated to both disks? Or is this not recommended/best practice?

0 Mr Ethernet Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 So just to answer my own question... As far as I can tell, it's fine to store a VHDX file itself in a pool (and, therefore, to duplicate it if required). It's only a mounted VHDX that isn't supported for inclusion as part of a drive pool, but think there's no reason why a VHDX file itself can't be simply stored in a pool. My VHDX file happens to be a BitLocker drive; if it turns out that a BitLocker VHDX file shouldn't be stored in a pool for data integrity reasons (just as databases shouldn't be stored in a pool), I would appreciate it if someone could let me know!
