Hi
I have a WD Live Hub where the internal drive is nearly full, mainly with Films, TV Series and music, as its taken me a few months to fill the drive with all my media (ripping DVD’s/CD’s etc) I want to add more space for storing media and somewhere to backup the on board media incase of failure.
I have ordered a 2TB WD elements external drive which I intend to connect via USB to the live hub when it arrives, to be able to save more media on the new drive and backup the on board hub drive to the external USB drive.
Looking at the way the hub works, if I let the hub see the external USB drive to store external media, it will also see my 1tb copy of the original live hub folders, which would give me duplicates I’m guessing when browsing my media ? I have kept my folder structures pretty simple :
Music
Movies
Pictures
kids Movies
TV Series
with subfolders below them
How do people store their backups on external USB drives so they do not get duplicates on media ?
My setup : WD Live Hub connected to Windows 7 PC via wired network, I just copy media files from PC over the network to the WD Live Hub.
Thanks.
