  • eda, do you use crashplan in conjunction with the server build in backup, or do you have the WHS internal backup disabled? Will crashplan backup to WHS V1? I currently have WHS 2011 internal backup unconfigured.  That is because my understanding is …
  • I also run CrashPlan for backing up not only to CrashPlan Central, but also to my original WHS 1.0 system (which no longer does anything except provide off-server backup for WHS 2011).  Datageek and Saltydh are correct.  While it appears that the en…
  • Thanks, JameSoft.  I think I discovered the problem which perhaps was a little different.  I am running iTunes as a service (using JTunes).  I had not yet changed the data pointers in iTunes to point to the drive.  I'm not sure why that would have …
  • Clearly I'm having the problem described above.  However, as I try to follow step 2 (stop sharing folder in the Share list under Computer Management), I get the "Error 3:  The system cannot find the path specified." The path is there (C:\ServerPool\…
  • As a follow up to the rebalancing question, I recently added a drive to my server (only my third).  All the drives are 2TB WD drives.  When I added the new drive to the pool, DrivePool dutifully reported that my drives were "66% balanced."  Right ne…
  • I, too, am using M3-4133 as my live server and find that it works very well.  I don't see the permissions problem, but then mine really is just a simple home server backing up local PCs and sharing data among family members. I do have an "out of box…
  • hooj, I actually went through a similar process, however, I am not running a VM.  I'm running WHS 2011 natively.  I did a complete rebuild without losing any data.  See the post in this forum called "How to recreate a pool" for a description of my e…
  • I'm running 4133 and just ran into an interesting problem.  I have been running with Direct I/O and Fast I/O turned off, since that's the default.  Today I went ahead and turned them on.  After restarting, I got the dreaded corrupt client backup mes…
  • Update.  As planned, I rebuilt my WHS2011 server from the ground up.  I first removed my two pooled data drives from the system just to make sure they didn't somehow get initialized.  Once the install was done (took a while), I installed DrivePool. …
  • Ah, yes, that might be the rub.  I have moved all of WHS's system files to the pool, so it sounds like I'll have a tale to tell.  Obviously, the new install will create new empty shared folders.  Just thinking this through, I'm guessing I can delete…
  • As a follow up to this thread, I am about to rebuild my server for a reason unrelated to DrivePool (I changed the name of the server, which apparently corrupts the Certificate Authority--don't try this at home!). I'm assuming I can remove the data d…
  • For what it's worth, akaz, I'm in a similar boat.  I've been running both WHS v1 and WHS 2011 on separate machines for some time.  v1 remains my primary machine, though it runs somewhat unreliably and has to be restarted about once a week.  The 2011…
