![]() And, I want to be able to switch the external USBs back and forth without confusing the thing. So, my questions are:ġ) Which format should I use for the external USB drives: EXT-3, EXT-4, FAT-32, NTFS, HFS+? I don't need speed, this is just for weekly overnight backups, so what I want is stability. I've read through the forums, but didn't find this answered clearly enough for me. I am running Win 7 on my laptop and, if tragedy strikes my NAS setup, the whole point is that I want to be able to access the data from the USB drive from my laptop. I am using the QNAP backup to an external drive option. Incidentally, I accept that the drive I have off site will always be a week behind, but I'm ok with that in terms of possible information loss. Basically, a poor mans off-site backup without having to pay for cloud storage/buy another NAS. ![]() My hope is to be able to alternate weekly backups on the USB drives and store the other one at my office. I have 2 x 2TB internal drives and 2 x 2TB external USBs (all are Western Digital). I have been running it for a while and it has started to have repeated file errors, so I am basically going to format my external drives and start again. I have a TS-219P and want to re-setup my USB backup. I'm not sure if that is the correct approach, but I'm guessing there is someone out there who can answer this quickly if I can just find you. So, I thought I would cross post it here. I posted this in the 'hardware & softward compatibility' forum and it has over 70 views, but no replies.
