I was hoping that when the external drive was plugged into the USB port IDrive would automatically start backing it up.

I work at home and from a studio, and keep my work on this drive in order to move between the two places. I'm doing all the back ups on my home computer. There is about 1TB of data on the drive and I'm planning on backing it up slowly over a long period at night. The USB drive isn't always connected to my home computer and this seems to have confused IDrive - this morning it looks to have started backing up everything again (it is showing 0% backed up) but that there is 135GB of data on the drive. The drive letter is always the same (x: )Any thoughts? Sun, 11 Sep 2022 13:46:09 +0100
