    Can I do SharePoint online backups to someone else's PC using a USB external drive to store...


    We have a requirement to make monthly offline back ups of our SharePoint sites data, we are Microsoft cloud based, with Business Premium licences and an Azure P1.We have selected the user but trying to not burden their work load with having to do the backups themselves but rather the admin team do the work and the only requirement is of the user is to plug their external drive in and the backup is done either by the admin console or another way!, but we haven't figured that out yet.The original plan was to do it ourselves and use a courier to post the drive, but doing this every month is a bit

    Creating a backup on an external hard drive

    Hello,

    I wanted to create a backup on an external hard drive (Toshiba Canvio). When I connect the drive to the USB port (tried all of the available ones in my laptop), I can see the files stored in the drive, save files to the drive and basically perform all the operations on the drive too. The problem starts when I want to create a backup of the system on that drive: In the Settings->Create a backup->Add disk I can not list that external drive. How to create the backup on that drive?

    Laptop: Lenovo y50-70
    Windows: 10 v. 21H1

    Best Regards

    Can I do SharePoint online backups to someone else's PC using a USB external drive to store...

    HELP!!! External Drive issues!!

    you're in luck, the guy with way too much external storage is here to the rescue!


    step 1: try with a different USB cable

    step 2: take the drive out of the enclosure and connect it internally to your PC

    quite likely the cable or enclosure has died. if you're re-initialising the disk you might actually be erasing it... so dont do that.
