Well here I go, about to make a complete prat of myself once again. Yesterday decided to do a backup (well how difficult can that be, I thought?) So started with the first disk at 8.20am, but first I was told it had to format the disk, and that must have taken in the region of half an hour. It kept on asking for another disk,and each one had to go through the process of being formatted. I was at it most of the day, running back and forth to see what stage it had got to. By 5pm and on disk no 5 decided to call it a day. Today I thought I would start anew, surely I must have done something wrong. First disk went in at 8.44am I am now on disk no 8 and it's still going strong!!
This seems a ridiculous amount of time to spend for a simple backup, no?
Incidentally, the last 3 disks the format was unsuccessful, what's up?
Update:- The fourth disk has failed to format.
