Intel NUC i7 (+Seagate External Hard Drive)
Optimum Sagecom Modem
Halide Bridge
When I try to specify a valid path for backing up Roon, I constantly get the error as shown in the attached screenshot. I have confirmed the external drive is accessible by accessing it through the network.
Hi @Lance_Goler,
Can you please provide the exact model of the Seagate drive? hat do you see when you click on “Browse…” in your screenshot? Can you post a screenshot of that info?
The error it generates is “backup directory not available”, and this happens regardless of the folder I choose.
I have also just tried a different and when I try and specify a folder it generates the attached error. If these drives are MacOS Journaled format, could this be an
issue? What’s strange is I did clearly backup to this drive once before because the RoonBackup folder is on there.Hi @Lance_Goler,
Yes, this is most likely the source of the issue here - MacOS Journaled drives are Read-only on ROCK/Nucleus, meaning while you can read data from the drive, you can’t write data to the drive.
ROCK/Nucleus share the same RoonOS operating system, please refer to this guide for the supported hard drive formats. I would suggest using a drive that is in one of those formats (and not macOS Journaled).
