What's the filesystem on the drives?
Do you cleanly unmount it before disconnecting it?

No, but I tried the automatic "Dismount after backup" but it wouldn't backup the next night because it couldn't find the drive. Not going to ask staff to dismount the drive when they change it. Should not have to use a manual procedure.

Any update on this? I kind of got left hanging.
