    I installed the BDBB Add-In on WHS.  Attached a 1GB USB external drive that was formatted as NTFS on my Windows 7 laptop.  When attempting to save the backup file to the external drive, I get a message "The selected drive does not appear to be formatted with NTFS". 

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for being there.

    The solution was to reboot the server, after which WHS recognized the USB external drive as a NTFS drive and the backup proceeded normally.

     

    Should have done that first - sorry for the post.
