Backup to multiple USB drives (swapping everyday)? ReadyNAS RN424
Hello, after studying the manual I'm still unsure if it possible to use multiple USB drives for backup. Target is for example: Creating 5 backup-jobs and swapping the USB drive everyday? Hopefu...
You can rotate USB drives, but you do need to be careful to eject them using the web admin ui before you remove them. Linux isn't as nice as Windows or MacOS in that regard.
The normal backup jobs copy files, and the output is not encrypted. NTFS formatting is fine (and I do recommend using a format that you can read on another device).
