So moving forward, will DrivePool (SBDP) v2 eventually replace v1.3? Or will the new features of v2 be backported to v1.3 to maintain dashboard integration?
I have a Server 2012 Essentials setup I've been evaluating (with SBDPv2) and I'm now migrating all the data back to WHS2011 and have to make the choice of using SBDPv2 on WHS2011 (and lose dashboard integration, but gain new features) or stick with SBDPv1.3.
Can a pool created by SBDPv2 be accessible by SBDPv1.3? Or do I need to recreate the pool and file-sync the two pools before de-provisioning S2012E? I do have a Drobo5N I use as a server backup so if I have to wipe out the pool I can recreate it from scratch (though it would take 2 days to resync the files).
I would prefer to keep the dashboard integration, but I'd also like to avoid the hassle of recreating the pool just to downgrade from SBDPv2 to v1.3.

Sorry for so many questions.
