It doesn't help that the server's USB ports are only version 1 ports.
The external hard drives require v2 USB ports.
That means I have to plug them in to a different PC and back up the server over the network.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

I've got a pair of gadgets, each of which plug into a mains socket. Each has a ethernet port.
One WiFi modem router is plugged in to one in one part of the house and the other WiFi router is plugged in to the other in the other part of the house.
