When you make the USB drive the target for your backup, Is that supposed to lock the drive so that nothing else can be put into it. Every time I drag something to that drive it says...
"An unexpected error is preventing the operation. Error 0x8007045D: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."
Linkstation is HS-DH500GL
USB Drive is Seagate 750GB
USB Drive has been formatted to XFS
I've been trying for a week to get my backup working correctly...
Where are you dragging the file to the usb? Are you going through a mapped share? Network places? \\IP?
I have the drive mapped. I just tried to run another backup to it last night and no luck.
Try disconnecting from the share, rebooting the computer and then reconnecting to it.
Maybe I should clarify a bit. I am using the USB drive as a backup for the NAS. I have created a backup job within the NAS to backup to the USB drive. It still will not create a backup... the log says that there was an error. I'm thinking that I may have messed with the USB drive too much and now it isn't functioning at all... hope not. I'll give your suggestions a shot.
Which NAS are you using with?
