Linkstation Pro 1.5TB problems with scheduled backup to usb external harddrive

I work for a small business, we recently upgraded our 150gb buffalo linkstation to a 1.5TB linkstation pro, at the same time (mainly due to my urging) we bought a 1TB external USB harddrive so that we can backup all of our vital work information nightly from the buffalo drive to the external. I reformatted the external with software from the older 150gb linkstation and it reads as usbdisk1 (as i believe it should).

I have however been having problems with the scheduled scan, i set it for midnight, daily and to my knowledge it hasn't backed up since i set the scheduled scan a week ago, when i run a 'scan now' option it tells me it has completed the scan, but the external drive still shows up as empty, if anyone has any feedback it would be greatly appreciated. losing all of our work files would be =(

It sounds like you are doing a disk check.   I would use the new linkstation to format the usb drive to xfs through it's web gui.  Once you do that, go and create a backup job, and start immediately.  If you have any questions  Feel free to post screen shots of your backup job, if everything in line and there is a firmware update available for your model I would recommend doing that also.
