I think I must have done something drastically wrong. My computer is VERY full and I was nervous about enabling all the facilities on my ministation in case there wasn't room on my computer so I just enabled the back up bit, not the turbo thing. It has now been doing my first back up and has taken two days so far and not finished! The puzzling thing is, I only had just under 450GB to back up. According to my computer, the 1TB buffalo only has 288 GB left! Surely that is impossible? I must have done something wrong.
I am using a 2 usb port, the ministation is glowing green.
I also got worried when I tried to set up encryption when it asked me about erasing all my data I clicked cancel, started again and set it up to back up the first time without encryption. Will this have caused a problem?
I cannot understand why the back up is so very big and taking so long.
Please help an aged technical newbie! Thanks.
