|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board DROBO Robert Beck, Photographer Carlsbad | CA | USA | Posted: 8:10 PM on 08.23.10 ->> I have set up the Drobo S and I have no idea what it is or what I am doing. I thought it automatically started to back up my drives. I don't think it is. It says there is info on it but when I click on the drive there is nothing inside. I'm running a Mac with four internal drives. There are 5 drives in the drobo. Any suggestions for the old man?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You configure this through: "System Preferences -> Time Machine" and it is easier to do if the Drobo is directly connected (USB or Firewire) than if you're connected over the network.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

On my PC I had to install the DROBO desktop and format the volume before windows would 'see' the drive.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Once turned on it will automatically back up all your internal drives that you don't specifically tell it to NOT back up using the "Options" button.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

So in reality it will store stuff you no longer want . Soem people use chrono sync others carbon copy cloner. Their are ways to use time machine but do call the drobo people. I am about to do the same thing as my four bay drobo filled up in a year of owning it.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
