Setting up Drivepool and Clouddrive as backup issues


blackmoon

Question

I'm trying out drivepool and clouddrive but having issues getting them to work together. Not sure if I'm using it correctly. I have multiple hard drives (10+) with total 30TB used for plex.

DrivePool: I created "drivepool A:\" which combines all 10+ hard drives.
Clouddrive: I made "Google Drive O:\" with 100GB cache. 

Back on Drivepool: Create "drivepool M:\" which contains "drivepool A:\" and "google drive O:\" (the cloud drive)

Drivepool M:\ is set to pool duplication x2, but it's been on 'waiting' and hasn't duplicated any files. My goal was to have a backup on the cloud (google drive) in case of any hard drive failures. Any tips or suggestions? Do I have the settings wrong?

Have you seeded the top level pool?  If not, then you may need to do that.

Also, don't use A:\ for the drive letter.  Windows has some hard coded behavior that expects A:\ and B:\ to be floppy drives.  This includes querying those drive letters frequently, which will keep the pool (and all the drives in it) awake.
