Zipped backup from NAS to attached USB drive?
Posted: 15 Jul 2021, 15:10
Hello Folks,
Anyone know how I can backup the files on my NAS to a USB drive that is plugged into it as a Zipped file to save space on the USB?
My problem is that I have 8TB of files on the NAS and only a 6TB USB. There is a Backup to USB application but it doesn't zip. The file manager sayes it can zip but every time I try it just makes a small zip folder. I am not sure if any of the other applications that are available can do what I need or if I am using file manager wrong.
