USB HDD used as destination for Backup of 314 / use old NAS instead?
I purchased a Seagate Expansion 3TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STBV3000100) few years back to serve as my destination to backup my RN314. I plugged it into the front port of my NAS and while I am able to back up to it, it only recognizes 2 TB of space. 1. Have I done something that limited my NAS to recognizing only 2TB. 2. Assuming I fix that, or the NAS OS is capable of larger destination drives, what is maximum supported? I currently only back up with shares and not my timemachine (a decision made mainly about space). I recently began a vertical upgrade of space on my NAS, because my Shares grew. I am now backup up only 3 of 4 shares. The data on the 4th is replaceable with a little effort. As an asude, I still have the chassis of my old ReadyNAS NV+ can I fill it with retired HDD from my upgrade and use it as a backup destination? EIther place it offsite and backup over the net (might be too slow) or bring it onsite once a week and store it off site?Solved
