So, I am completely new to Proxmox and server hosting and I am trying to set up a home server for my family, (photo storage, media server, etc.). Now I have already installed Proxmox and am able to control it from my other pc. I have 2x 2TB hdds, 2x 4TB hdds and a 500GB ssd. My plan is to mirror the hard drives and then keep a backup of the ssd.

I already have some dataon one of the 2TB hdds so I can't create a ZFS pool with it. i want to know how I should copy the data from the NTFS hdd with data onto the other 2TB hdd that I made into ZFS so that I can then clear the NTFS and convert it into a ZFS.

Any feedback very appreciated and if you have soem good forums or videos on how to start that would be a great help.
