I use an external 2TB external USB drive to provide monthly backups of various folders on my NAS (DS218+; DSM6.2). In USB Copy I have 8 tasks set up to do these backups.
My 2TB is now too small and full, so I bought a 5TB drive; plugged it in only to find that the existing tasks do not see the new drive. The USB drive is mounted and I can set up a new task to make a copy of a directory. Under USB Copy settings, the original drive is listed, but not the new one.
So, without delving into unix, etc. am I doing something wrong or do I have to set up a load of new tasks? Is there some way to add the new drive to the Drive Location list while keeping the old drive?
TIA, Nick
