Hi everyone!
Fist post here, pretty sure this gets asked a lot, but go easy on this old f€ck, please... ;-)
Have a Synology DJ220s server, with a 4TB disk. It's formatted as SHR.
Now I added an identical 4TB disk. Don't want more capacity, just want redundancy so that if one disk fails I can still use the other to copy the files.
I go to Storage Manager > Add Drive > Select new drive (Drive 1) > then a box appears with information before I have to press "APPLY".
But on that info-box it says "Expand the volume by adding drives".
There is no option to just say "No, not to expand, but have a copied disk for redundancy".
Where in this process can I have that option?
I'm afraid that if I click "APPLY" I will end with an 8TB disk and that's not what I want. Or worse, that the movies and family pictures on the original disk get erased or something.
Can someone help?
Thank you!
Best regards,
André Toscano
