Storage Spaces, Windows Server 2022 21H2
This video will cover the installation configuration of Storage Spaces on Windows Server 2022 to provide fault tolerance and resiliency. We will also cover how to recover from a failed drive and how to seamlessly increase capacity with zero downtime. As a bonus, we demonstrate how to mount to a folder to create a single-volume namespace.
The procedures here apply to Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2012.
However, as great as any fault-tolerant system is, it is no replacement for having a good, tested, recent backup to thwart inadvertent data loss.
