I have a rock solid setup with WSE2012 using drivepool. Only problem is if the client backup folder is in the pool, all backups fail within seconds with the WSS service shuting down and restarting. Obviously this kills any backup running. I have read in numerouis forums that storage spaces has a "bug" that will not allow the client backup folder to be in the pool or all backups will fail to start. The reported error logs, while not very helpful, are exactly what I am seeing.. Except that I am not uising storage spaces, I am running the latest drivepool version. To test this out, I moved the client backup folder off the pool to a usb drive I just acquired and bam, all backups work first time I click start. No errors or problems. I moved the folder back to the pool and instant fail. I have read her and on the old forum of others running with the folder in the pool and having no problems. I am not sure if anyone is running Windows Server 2012 Essentials or not, maybe they are all on WHS2011. But i Thought that Drivepool was compatible with WSE2012. Has anyone else had this issue? Any info or ideas would be appreciated, I am backing up 4 computers and the capacity of the pool is much desired. If I have to get a dedicated 3TB drive to hold my backups and keep it off the pool that will be a drag. DP works fine for all other uses, media library, photo storage and such, but the backups would be a swwet icing to the cake. I had the folder in the pool for years with WHS2011. Help please?
