Where did my client backups go?

I know this has worked since I have been using drivepool because I have done a restore of my HTPC from the server.  Tonight I logged into the dashboard to find that I no longer have any backups for any of my machines.  I had saved 2 of them for specific setup points for that machine and was going to save another one before I made some changes.  I tried to open the client computer backups folder (I'm not sure if this is supposed to be possible or not) and I am unable to see if there is anything there.  When I click on the folder, neither drivepool or the home server folder manager gives me the option to open the folder.  I thought maybe this was a permission thing so I tried to reset permissions as I have done for other folders that I could not get access to and there is no option to do this either.  Is there a something I can do to get these back?  Do I need to move the backups folder out of the pool?

    Hi hellerbrewing, many folks have experienced problems with DrivePool M3 and WHS Backup, personally I recommend keeping the backup folders out of the pool until at least DrivePool M4 is released.

    I have not had any problems running the client backups directly from drivepool the only 1 problem i did have is when i put the direct i/o setting on and fast i/o setting for reason with these on i got a server error saying my backups were corupt switch them off back to normal i have also tested them by doing a reinstall from the backup's and everthing was 100% ok

    I have not had problems until now.  I think the only change that I have made to the server since they were working last was installing cloudberry.  I am not sure if this caused the problem or not.

    I connected to the server via RDP and searched for the client computer backups folder and was able to find it.  It appears that the backups are in there.  If I move the folder out of the pool will my backups show back up?  Is it OK to move them to the system drive?  I have a lot of extra space.
