Current setup
This is set up to backup daily and I also store ~30Gb of files on it that I don’t often access (long-term storage).
Since the router requires the drive to be formatted to FAT32, I will temporarily move the long-term files to my MBP and then reformat the drive prior to connecting it to the router.
Once the drive has been set up and shared, I will move the long-term files over to the network share. Finally, I will initiate the Time Machine backup over the network.
Question
How should I setup the drive?
- Partitions – one for the Time Machine backup and one for the files
- Folders – the Time Machine created
Backups.backupdband the individual folders for the long-term files
