I need some advice on how to setup a GDrive CloudDrive to duplicate a local drivepool.
I have been using DrivePool and Scanner for over a year now and really happy with it.
Using the latest beta versions of all 3 products.
Currently I have 5x HDD's and 1x 250GB SSD cache in a local drivepool (Q:) and I have all Balancers on:
1. SSD Optimizer
2. StableBit Scanner
3. Disk Space Equalizer
4. Volume Equalization
5. Drive Usage Limiter
6. Prevent DriveOverfill
7. Duplication Space Optimizer
I currently do not have any duplication taking place on the local pool (Q:), but I will setup a specific folder for important data to be duplicated. The rest is not so critical, mostly media files.
I would like to setup a GDrive CloudDrive to duplicate some folders, with full drive encryption on.
This where I get lost on what type of config to use.
Is there a best practice guide on this?
1. Do I create 1 big GDrive? +-100TB or more
2. Create smaller ones and put them a drivepool of their own?
Section I'm not so sure on when creating a CloudDrive:
Part 1:
Data duplication: ?
Local Cache Drive: 100GB Same SSD cache drive part of the local drivepool (Q)
Sector Size: ?
Storage chunk size: ?
Chunk cache size: ?
File System: ?
Cluster Size: ?
Part 2:
Current internet speed, Fibre 200mbps down / 100mbps up. ( May change in a month or 2)

I take it that once this setup and the next step will be to create a hybrid pool with localpool + cloudpool and setup folder duplication on the cloudpool, using Drive Usage limiter... Is that correct?
*BTW is it possible to add local and cloud path directories to a Plex library, with the same data?
