Question Mount the new partition to Plesk

[elvator]

Server operating system version

winserver2022

Plesk version and microupdate number

endversion

Hello
We are new to Plesk and do not know much about it.

We have a Plesk server with 4TB SSD
And we have 2 hard drives of 12 TB.

Plesk is installed on the Windows 2022 operating system and on our SSD hard drive.

We need to add the 2 12 TB hard drives that were recently added to the server and created in Windows 2 partitions E: and F: of NTFS type to Pleskemon.

The question is that in Linux, we used to mount these drives to our control panel, for example, we added a folder and mounted the folder to the new hard drives, but in Plesk, I don't know how to assign the partitions to the users' usable space.

The way Plesk works is that physical hosts are all located in a single directory so by default the default location would be C:\Inetpub\vhosts. Now you can run the plesk configurator to change where the the vhosts is located instead such as to another drive. But there is no way easily configure it to utilize both drives, not without a lot of manual work (such as mapping a full drive to an NTFS folder or creating a hard junction to a folder on that other drive).

The alternative would be to span the C drive to the other 2 drives but that has it's own risks unless you have proper hardware RAID configured for those 2 volumes and/or backups.

The final alternative is, if you must have specific sites on different drives and this is all for internal work and not have any clients that needs access to their own portal, would be to ditch Plesk and just manually do everything in IIS.

@isabellajhon the steps you've provided is for backups, it's not for web site storage.
