Basic backup Question
I would like to backup my files.
I have installed the following…
BootHDR
auto-unprotect
ntfs-3g
samba
I’ve bought a Seagate 2TB Expansion Drive [STBV2000200] - (should I reformat this to NTFS)
Can I use Windows explorer to just copy the My Video folder to the 2TB...
This was the third go
I had difficulties running this, but for this one I waited long after the 4 hours it said it would take.

Have been out all day - so will run code now - and see how long it is before it finds an error
Edit
ran
smartctl -t long /dev/sda (in maitenance mode)
it said 234 min - will it tell me when it has finished and I can run
smartctl -a /dev/sda
Hi prpr
Thanks for the suggestion
Just took a look at doing a long test, and that told me it would be 234 minutes
So will have a go at that when I have longer available
smartctl -A /dev/sda now?

Hi ran the 1st test - asked me to wait 1min - so waited 2
Then the second test gave the following
humax# smartctl -t short /dev/sda

Thanks Black Hole and prpr - sorry about mistake
new result...
humax# ls /sys/block/sda
dev holders range size stat uevent
device queue removable slaves subsystem
Thanks for the suggestion xyz321
ran
ls /sys/block/sda
as suggested
Result was...
/bin/sh: ls/sys/block/sda: not found
So what can I do next - is it return to shop??
Or are there still options open for me?
Thanks to ALL of you for your help and support
;)
Have been watching TV thru a you-view box (was just reporting state of play)
Humax was running very hot - so shut it all down overnight.
Will have anothe go in the morning
How many hours should this take?
And what should I see in telnet window while fix disc is running?
Thanks Ezra
