I've replaced a failing 2tb drive (nearly 10 years old ) with a new 8tb drive. I previously removed the failing drive from my DrivePool.
I would like to have essential folders/files currently in my pool duplicated to the new drive. This is so that I can be confident that in the event of a failure of any current drive in my pool failing or the DrivePool software failing I have one clean whole copy of those essential folders/files to use (either in the existing machine or elsewhere).
How do I go about this please?
I've looked at the File Placement options and Duplication options. It is not clear which I could use for my purpose. In both cases it *seems* that I can't be assured a clean whole copy being on the new drive.
Or do I need to investigate creating a second pool, adding my existing Drivepool and the new drive to the new pool? And then from there doing some sort of placement or duplication?
