I've spent hours going through the forum, but cannot find (or perhaps cannot understand) a solution.
I have a Linkstation HS-DHGL 1.2.0 connected to a Netgear router. This connects wirelessly to a pc and a laptop. About a year ago I somehow managed to set up jobs to backup files from both machines. Recently we were burgled and the laptop was stolen. I tried to set up a job to backup the replacement laptop, but can't. Although the pevious backup still runs for the pc, I can't see any details of what it does - where does that info hide?
From the laptop I've created a new share called NewJohn on the linkstation, and I try to backup the documents folder to this.
So "Disk Backup", Job1:
Select immediately, and Normal backup.
Then to the "Backup source and destination stuff"
two boxes - first dropdown offers choice of shares on linkstation so I select NewJohn
second one has "no available source backup folders"
Nothing else I do seems to allow me to specify which folder to back up.
Exactly the same happens if I try from the pc.
Yet I managed somehow last year!
Can you help?
Please?
Do you have another buffalo nas device, or a usb drive plugged into the ls and have it formatted to xfs through your ls? The usb ext hd also needs to have a supplemental power connection, not everything through the usb port on the ls.
