I added a second hard drive to my windows home server. I set it as a backup drive for the files on my server. I then try to select folder duplication and it will not let me. It will not allow me to select it.
I even removed the drive and went through the process a second time. No luck.
I can find threads to tell me how to do it but not how to troubleshoot it.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
You have to have 2 drives in the storage pool to enable duplication. 1 in the pool and 1 as a backup wont allow duplication, as you're seeing.
 
yeah adding it as a backup hard drive means, you plug it in and backup what you want to it, then WHS kinda anticipates that drive going away for a while, and then being plugged back in for backup again. This is ideal for USB drives and what not. To do duplication, where WHS does it automatically by folder, that drive needs to be in the pool, telling WHS that drive will always be there and always avalible to put duplication on.
 
Thank you. Duplication is working.

I just did not get that from the set up instructions.
