Hello again,
Looking for a little more help with my issue. Still having a problem where my backup destination, which is a 14tb external HDD, is converted to recovery only status. I have started backing up to a different external USB device about a week ago and have had no issues. I take it that means my 14tb external HDD has some issues and needs to be replaced.
My question is, what can I do to find out exactly what is wrong with the drive itself? I may have other issues right? Like a bad cable or other components in the housing. I'm well outside of the return window for the device so it's potentially a total loss at this point. I'm trying to see if I can add it to my raid but I want to check it first of course.
Thanks
