I'm planning on buying an external 3Tb drive to back up a couple of computers and was wondering how people are doing this...
COPY C: seems a bit caveman.
windows server 2012 R2 Essentials - connector client backs client machines up to the server.
Then Stablebit drive pool houses all pics,movies, etc via the server share.
I like this as if the server dies you can take any drive out and put it into a pc and access the files. Also works with different size drives....
so lets say I had 4 x 500gb drives and wanted to go to 2tb drives. You click remove on one, wait for it to finish, power down , remove drive, add new drive, power up and add that drive to the pool and keep doing so until you have all 2tb drives. Maybe a better way but im always doing things the long way.
My drivepool is 5 x 2tb drives. I have some folders set to 1x, some 2x and some 3x. I dont see a need for 5x
