+Using the standard transfer group wouldn't work in this situation because the remotes cannot be clients (among other reason because the server repo is bigger than the external drives).
+
+But from your answer I surmise that the local repo must want the files unless they are on the drives and no longer want them once they are on drives, is that correct?
+
+I will try letting it run overnight with the local repo's wanted being `\"not copies=2\"`. Hopefully sync will drop the local copy as soon as it has been transferred to the drive and not keep that for last.
