How to backup LinkStation Duo to a USB external drive
« on: October 16, 2015, 03:00:56 PM »
Hi all,

New guy here.  I have the LinkStation Pro Duo with the drives configured to be copies/mirrors of each other.  For a little extra security, i would like to back up the data on these drives to an external/portable hard drive that I would store in another building.  I purchased a Seagate Backup Plus slim drive and connected it to the USB port on the back of the LinkStation, but it would not work.  After contacting tech support, they are telling me that the Seagate drive will not work...that I need a drive that does not require drivers to run?  I didn't think this Seagate drive was anything special.

So - have any of you done this?  Backed up your LinkStation to an external drive via the USB port?  What sort of drive do I need to get?

Thanks in advance...
