    Backing up from a machine that only has USB2.

    Second tranche - 92,642 items. I've still got two more lots to do after that too.

    This is going to be a tedious afternoon.

    • Snack on some kimchi whilst you wait.Continuity
    • you don't have to stare at the progress bar, crack open some cider and play some tunes.fadein11
    • is it a Windows machine? you could just open it up and hook up an SATA drive directly.zarkonite
    • prob is I'm consolidating all my internal drives to one USB-only external (to start again and also have off-site backup) - never thought when I bought USBNairn
    • tbh, 80% of it could probably get binned without any consequence. The problem there is the 'probably' not being 'definitely'.Nairn
    • It's amusing to me how small this little drive is,compared to the four internal drives and all the old externals I have, yet is still bigger in capacity.Nairn
    • AND is powered entirely off a single USB. All my externals require an additional power source (thereby implying how old they are haha)Nairn
