Help formatting 2.5TB USB drive for backup
Hi all- Apologies, have studied the archives but can't fix my problem I have an external WD USB 2.5TB Hard drive, and wanted to dump my entire NAS to it. I have: ReadyNAS NV+ RAIDiator 4.1....
you can not.
Over 2tb drives require GPT, not MBR.
Sparc devices like NV+ do not support GPT.
You must connect your usb drive to a PC/MAC then backup your nv+ over the network.
Or use a regular 2tb drive.
