Roon Backup only on network shares?

I attached it to my computer (first time now) and there were no errors found when scanning the drive.

Did you do the CHKDSK /f ? And did you try if it works after that?

@Dan_Rosen

Like I said, it worked fine under Roon 1.7 and 1.8 when I did the last backup.

Yes, and like I said, current Roon versions have become pickier about this. This started with Roon OS version 254 in November 2022 (after the Roon app was already version 2.0)

This build does include an update to the Linux kernel which, among many other changes, includes vastly improved support for USB storage devices formatted with the exFAT or NTFS filesystem.

One part of the “vastly improved” here meant that it has started to strictly refuse NTFS files systems with error flags:

ROCK USB Connection Issues? [Investigating - Ticket in]

NTFS? We upgraded the NTFS driver to something far more stable, and less prone to corruption. Unfortunately, this driver is far pickier about drives that have been improperly ejected. The solution, if your drive is NTFS, is to plug it back into a Windows machine, run chkdsk /f on it, and then eject it properly and put it onto the ROCK machine. We are looking into a safe solution that will avoid this chkdsk /f.
