I currently have DrivePool stitching together a combination of local drives as well as some CloudDrives. So far everything has been fine, but I'm trying to plan for the failures I don't know about. Is it possible to have DrivePool maintain a complete local copy of the data I have stored. As in worst case scenario, Google drops off the face of the earth and my CloudDrives are gone for good. I want to make sure that I could carry on with the local storage I have until I could add more or link to a new provider, etc. I have tested with some file placement rules and I can deselect the cloud drives which makes sure that that directory, or files are kept local, but I'm hoping there is some way I could apply this globally and have it use the cloud for a duplicate or at least prefer local storage.
