Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
… and is your external drive recognised as a USB3 device?

48051 files. This is part of my plex media so music is definitely lots of little files.
I need to check on dedupe, I dont recall seeing that anywhere.
Yes qudedup is active. It says it will speed up transfer... is that not true?

Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
dedupe needs an SSD Volume for HBS, lots of RAM and a fast NAS CPU
redo the job without dedupe (does a plain file backup) and see how that goes

Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
69MB/s 28 hours and 15 minutes.
I am hoping someone can help with my question now that I went down this road for backup.
As I mentioned I am backing up plex media files and I plan on backing up every couple of months. I will be adding and removing files from my plex media folders on the qnap in that time. Is there a way for hbs 3 to just sync those changes so I dont have to go through a week of copying my files every time or if I start the job will it just copy everything again?
I am using external usb drives that I will be storing off site.
Thanks !

Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
Is there any way around the 64 folder limit?

Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
I was starting another backup today on my movie media. The movie folder is 16tb so I was selecting 8tb of them to backup for this external drive. I think I had selected 74 of them and when I went to start the job I got an error message stating that there was a limit of 64 folders not including subfolders for this job...

Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
I backup shares, so the subfolder count does not matter I guess

Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
Ok, got a couple of used tr-004 to use for backup. Should I use jbod or raid 0?

Re: The specified capacity has exceeded the maximum
If the disks are ll the same size, I quote the TR004 manual

But be aware, if a single disk has a single error, your backup are bustedUnless you have a specific reason to use
JBOD, use RAID 0 instead.
