A few weeks ago I picked up a WD 6TB drive to backup all of the media on my WHS 2011 server. My plan was to temporarily connect the drive to my desktop PC (after I do the backup I'll store the drive in my safe for a few months) until the next backup.
I finally got around to running the backup a couple of days ago. I initially tried using the pre-installed WD backup software, but had issues with the software navigating to my shared dives. It only allowed me to select local drives to backup. I had previously used SyncToy for backups, so I fired it up and set up an Echo backup for each of my shares: Documents, Videos, Pictures and Movies. Using it again reminded me of why I've used it in the past. Gotta like a nice simple program!!!
The back up finished, but had 12 errors. I can't tell a whole lot from the error message. I'm hoping someone here is more familiar with SyncToy and could give me some additional info on why these 12 files didn't copy to the external drive. Not sure if it matters, but they're all movies and all seem to be older movies??
Because it was a wide screen, I had to post the image in 2 sections to make it readable.
Thanks in advance.
