Backup to external RAID set

Thread needs solution

I have just stopped using backup to my NAS server, since backup time and restore is DEAD SLOW - used 4 days to restore about 2 TB data!

I would like to know what happens if I choose Full backup and want to save the backup to my new RAID set, which is mounted as disk G. I have some data on this disk allready and I would like to know if this data also will be saved to the backup, and if so, if there is any way to avoid this, except for using disk backup.

Best regards

Your external raid should not be included using the EntirePC backup method.  If that method does for some reason decide to include the raid set in the backup you will recieve a warning message stating that it is not advisable to back up data onto itself or something to that effect.

In such a case you can select the backup Options Exclude tab and add the path to the Raid set so it is  excluded from the backup and it should work fine.

Your welcome.
