I have been trying to get my backup to USB drive running consistently for a month now and could really use some input.
I formatted it as XFS and the backup job runs forever...literally, I had to reset the linkstation.
Finally the USB drive just stopped showing up. I had to plug the USB drive into a Windows machine and remove the partition, then reformat it on the Linkstation to make it show up again.
Tried this a few times before I formatted it with Fat32. The backup ran with errors, but all the files were successully copied over.
Problem now is, the USB drive disappears at random. I can reboot the Linkstation and it comes back up.
Could there be a compability issue with my USB drive enclosure?
I'm willing to try whatever. I just need to get it working.
