Hi,

I have purchased a Bubba, but I haven't received it yet. I was wondering, if I am able to use an external USB harddisk? The documentation mentions Memory Sticks, but are they equivalent with hard disks?

Thanks

Jakob

Yes it is possible but not recommended.
The reason for this is that although Bubba has USB2.0 it is only fullspeed (12Mbit/s) not Hi-speed, meaning that it will be very slow.

Daily backup on external USB drive with rsync works fine. Most of the days there is only some e-mail to sync, which only takes a few minutes. I use ext3 file system on USB drive to avoid FAT32 related naming problems.

rsync -ax --stats --delete /home /etc /media/usbdrive
