Creating a pool overwrites disk data, so save any required data to different media before adding disks to a pool. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Links of the Month** - [TrueNAS Core 12 Nightly: New Features and Differences From FreeNAS & TrueNAS](https://youtu.be/O4hzjNiBxfo) via Lawrence Systems - [How to install Nextcloud on FreeNAS in an iocage jail with hardened security](https://www.samueldowling.com/2020/06/26/install-nextcloud-on-freenas-iocage-jail-with-hardened-security/) via Samuel Dowling - [TrueNAS CORE Key Features Overview](https://www.storagereview.com/review/truenas-core-key-features-overview) via StorageReview - [TrueNAS CORE 12 on HPE MicroServer Gen10 Plus](https://youtu.be/3yCzeVndVOY) via StorageReview - [The RMC Retro Sleeper Server – Tour and FreeNAS Setup](https://youtu.be/6Ud16pstih4) via RetroManCave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Quote of the Month** “We use Veeam for straight backups and recovery.
