I'm in the process of transitioning from WHS v1 to Windows Server 2012 R2 and am going to following to following guide to "migrate" all my data into drive pool:
Everything makes sense to me but how does drivepool handle files that have been duplicated via WHS and exist on multiple drives under the same path? Is it smart enough to realize this and handle it appropriately or will it start freaking out that there's the same file on multiple drives?
Do I need to enable duplication on the respective drivepool's folder first before moving the files from the old WHS DE directory (I think this is the case if I'm reading it correctly)? or should I disable duplication on WHS first, make sure there's only one copy of files, then move the files?
