I know this is probably beyond what WHS in intended for, but I would appreciate any insights as to whether I can also use WHS for this. I have installed a non-pool SATA hot-swapable drive caddy in my server. I would like to use this as an archival drive for the other PCs on my network. I wish to use WHS for this because none of my other PCs are capable of hosting the hot-swappable drive caddy.
On the WHS server I created a non-duplicating share folder called "Archive". Then, when I inserted my first drive in my hot-swappable drive caddy I mounted it in the empty "Archive" folder. The SATA drive did display in WHS Console as a non-pool drive. Next, I successfully moved a test folder from one of my network PCs to the "Archive" folder. This seemed to work perfectly but this morning WHS presented me with a "Network in Danger" message. I had this "system cannot find message text for message number *** in the message" for each file in the archived folder.
Is it possible to set up a non-pool hot-swappable drive on my WHS and use it for network archival, and if so, how would you recommend doing it?
