SBS 2011 Compatible USB External Hard Drive for Backups
Hello,
I would like to purchase a new external USB hard drive specifically for our SBS 2011 WSB backups. I have heard that certain externals are not compatible with Windows Server Backup jobs so I would like to make sure I get a compatible drive that is reliable. Does anyone have any recommendations for this? My backups with Exchange aren't extremely large, roughly around 250GB, but I would most likely want to shoot for something that can store a few at a time for redundancy, so around 1TB if possible.
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thank you
