USB Disk Backup not working correctly
Hi All,
2nd thread of the day! I've created some backup jobs to allow me to backup using the 'Backup button' on the front of my NV+ V2 device.
The setup of the job is as follows:
I have double check that there are files in the iSystain Share (roughly 120mb worth).
I have tried with a USB Hard Drive and Flash Stick with the same results. On the 2nd try with the USB Hard Drive, the 'shells' of the files/folders copied over, but the was no actual content e.g. All files were 0 bytes.
Am I doing something incorrect?
Another question if I may: Can you specify a specific folder for each job to backup to, when the destination is USB Drive? I have several Shares I want to backup to one drive, but as you can imagine there is going to be lots of files/folders in the root of the USB Drive!
Kind Regards,
Jake

- Okay - it seems to work now - I haven't changed any settings or anything like that. The USB Drive is NTFS and it seemed to copy over perfectly this time around and the files were opening fine.
So, my second question still stands: Can you specify a specific folder for each job to backup to, when the destination is USB Drive? I have several Shares I want to backup to one drive, but as you can imagine there is going to be lots of files/folders in the root of the USB Drive!
Cheers, - .... managed to figure it out again myself :)
I needed to plug in the drive first to make sure the backup job knew what folder to go to.
Fantastic! I've not got a decent backup scheme going on.
Cheers,
Jake
