No. You have to start a migration either by schedule or by an external script which can rely on pool usage. > 3. What is the best way to create this disk pool (2 files sized 1 GB > each?)? That depends on the size of your backups. To be useful, you should be able to store one complete run of backups on disk - if 2 GB are enough, I doubt you'd notice an increase in throughput. > 4.
