Title: LS-WVL Backup between Drives
Post by: CSM on May 04, 2021, 04:46:29 PM
Can I backup a directory on one drive to another on the same LinkStation Pro?
I can see the source pulldown list, but destination target pulldown is blank.

Yes, just enable the "disk backup" options on the share folder options for that folder.

It's pointless doing this though. Keeping everything on a single units isn't a backup.

Backing up to the 2nd disk in the unit is ok, as if the bay fails, at least the data is save being replicated.   I should probably change to Raid rather than having the 2 drives which I mirror more manually.   

Thanks, the Disk Backup checkbox worked.   Didn't notice that earlier.

Thanks, Carl
