Title: Some questions on USB external drives
Post by: solutions123 on May 23, 2006, 12:33:43 AM

Hi Group
Firstly, I have setup SME to use Backup2 to usb disk which is going fine.
Where do I go to look to see what capacity is available on the drive?
Also to plug in an alternative drive (I like to use 2 to backup on to on alternative nights) how do I plug one in and format it? Or will SME do it automatically? The last drive I plugged into my windows machine with Partition magic and formatted it that way.
Thanks for your help.

If you are using the backup2 contrib this is a pretty useful link.
