Possible To Enable File Duplication For Specific Folders? (Not Only In D:\Shares) RRS feed

    Hello,

    I have a WHS v1, which I use for storing different files (mostly backups), and a FTP server.

    I understand that only shared folders can have File Duplication.

    Shared folders are all in D:\shares , but I also want to have duplication of other folders, e.g. D:\Personal_Backups , D:\FTP , etc.

    Is it possible to do?  Can I "share" those specific folders and then enable File Duplication?  And if so, how?  (I couldn't find that.)

    Thank you!

    No, it's not possible to do that. Only folders managed by Windows Home Server can have duplication enabled.

    I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)

    Hi Ken,

    Thank you for your reply.

    So then, I suppose that I need to create a new shared folder using the WHS Console, e.g. a folder named "FTP", give access to the users (or none) wanted, and then configure my FTP server to use  D:\shares\FTP  instead (for that example).

    It is a bit longer to do all of that, but I suppose that it would work.  Am I right?
