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.
