USB Backup

Anyone know how to get the USB backup working?.

I have a NAS that I want to back up files, to my western digital portable drive.

I had it working years ago, and I got hacked so starting over. Openmediavault is in ext4, my passport is not, not sure what it is and the passport is empty. Could this be a problem, both have to be ext4?.

here are the drives

I'm lost tried this

From shared folder to external storage

Mode

peter [on /dev/md0, peter/]

Shared folder *

The shared folder to synchronise when the external storage device is connected.

WDC WD120EDAZ-11F3RA0 [/dev/sdf, 10.91 TiB]

Device *

The external storage device. Please make sure that the device has only one file system.

Relative path *

/dev/sdf

The relative directory path on the external storage device from/to which the content of the shared folder is to be synchronized. The directory is created if it does not exist.

I suspect at the bottom is not correct.

"Relative path *

/dev/sdf"

I did all that and get an error it wont deploy.

The only part I'm not sure is the

Relative path * I used /dev/sdf that could be wrong.

not sure what to try.

maybe I need to unmount it

is this correct?

sudo umount /dev/sdb1
