I have been running my whs for half a year, struggled with it in the beginning, but finally had it running smoothly. A month ago by backup disk started failing and my server responded very slowly so I thought I'd buy a new drive and replace it. The backups taken weren't that important that I couldn't back them up somewhere else. For the moment I'm running a server that cannot back anything up, and there is a disk that I can't replace. I keep getting 'unknown error occured' and my console closes (from within RDP).
The current situation is: Storage drives: drive 1 - 500 GB - healthy (i wanted to add this to backup, but made a mistake, now I cannot remove it anymore) drive 2 - 320 GB - not added ???? drive 3 - 1,36 TB (of which 20GB is system) - healthy drive 4 - 1TB - healthy drive 5 - 1TB - healthy
it gives no backup drives
This leaves me 2 major problems if I want to restore my server to it's original state.
- I have a disk that behaves like it is in the pool, no disk errors, have done thorough chkdsks. No errors (chkdsk c:\fs\d /f and all other drives) No errors. - The network is critical due to files where it says the disk is missing - I cannot add or remove any disks from the pool. I want to remove the 320 or at least show it again as added to the pool. - I don't have a backup storage now.
PLEASE help me, I've been backing up my videos and photos now, but still have another 1,5 TB to move if I would think of reinstalling the server, which really defeats the purpose of having one anyway doesn't it?
