Can anyone offer some advice please?
I have a server running WHS 2011, for the past few years I have been running it with 2x2TB disks mirrored, a SSD for the operating system a 250GB for server backup and one empty bay.
Yesterday I removed the 250GB drive and fitted 2 more 2TB drives.
I had planned to partition them both 1.8/0.2 using one of the 200GB partitions as a server backup and the 1.8 mirrored for data storage.
WHS appears to want to use the whole 2TB as a server backup, which is not only a waste of space but leaves me unable to mirror my other drive.
Is it possible to use a partition as a server backup?
Do I even need a server backup, if I cloned my SSD onto the old 250GB drive every 6 months for disaster recovery would that be good enough, I was only saving the SSD in my server backup anyway as the other disks were mirrored.
