I have WHS v1 with a 1TB system disk and a 2TB second drive. I have 5 disk bays, 3 empty. The backup database is corrupt and I have been unable to fix it. I have a recent backup of this database on another disk. I wish to replace the DATA disk (the 2TB one). I have duplication turned on. Is it best for me to:-
1) remove the drive through the WHS console and then physically remove the problem disk before adding the new one to the system and drive pool. Then restore the backup database from the backed up one
Or
2) add the new drive to the pool first before removing the disk with the corruption
I am concerned that if I use the second plan then the system will try and copy the corrupted database. There are many disk errors in the system log which point to a failed disk. It looks like the non-database stuff (duplicated shares etc) are ok though.
Can anyone advise? Is there a better strategy than the two I have outlined?
Thanks in advance.
