Title: Backing up from connected USB disk to ls-wxl has
Post by: BatFreak on February 21, 2013, 04:25:57 PM

Hi

 

I've set-up a back-up job to copy files from the connected USB disk across to the main file system

 

The back-up is set to "Immediate" and as soon as it runs the folder structure gets created - but nothing else gets created. Do I have to wait for the whole back-up job to complete before the files show up, or something else?

 

It should be worth noting that the remaining time is "--:--" with no time showing or anything. This makes me think something is not right

 

I followed the instructions as below:

 

  1. Log in to the LinkStation admin console via your web browser. 
  2. Under the tab "Shared Folders" you'll see "Folder set up".  You should see both 'share' and 'usbdisk1′. Make sure under the 'Support' column both disks should say at least "Disk Backup".   Mine say "Windows, Apple, Disk Backup"
  3. Click on the "System" tab, and go to the "Backup" tab. Click the little button that says "create new job".
  4. Assign a job name (whatever you like), mark the schedule 'immediate', and the operation 'normal'.
  5. Click the green "Add" button under backup folders. From backup sources, select "usbdisk1″ and for backup targets, select 'share@LS-CHLF22′. (Your model number may be different.) It may take a few seconds for it to find the available source and target drives as it searches the network.
  6. Finally, click "Apply". The screen should now show your transfer name with the status 'running'.

Help!
