lsandini Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Hello, I just added an external 100GB USB HDD to make a server backup copy of my WHS2011 drive (only the OS drive). The external HDD shows up correctly in My Computer, I can format it to NTFS or exFAT32, write to and read from it, but the backup wizard just doesn't seem to see it. Backups were done to a NAS share up to now. I tried to install it as RAW, as someone suggested on another forum, didn't help. The OS is installed on a 100GB SSD, of which only 65GB are used. Any idea ? Lorenzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KydDynoMyte Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 In the Dashboard did you select "Server Folders and Hard Drives" and then select the "Hard Drives" tab right click on the intended backup drive and select the option that makes it a server backup drive?

Which items would those happen to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
