Hi,
Can you please advise how I can attach a 3TB NTFS formatted external drive to FREENAS and copy all my data from my drive (2 x 3TB drives which are mirrored) so that I can then connect the external to my PC.
I kindly ask if you can walk me through the steps or forward me to the guides. There's just too much information for me to go through on the web.
I am new to 'terminal' etc and have been reading on rsync etc but it is quite involved for me at the present and I do not wish to lose any of my data should I mess up my NAS and hence wish a backup first of all my data (almost 3TB full spanning many years).
I don't want to spend many hours transferring files from my NAS to my external drive (USB3) via PC. As it was, it took ages to transfer the files from my PC (not the external drive) to the NAS.
Many thanks,
