The recommended method of backup (including with external drives) is to setup a :ref:`Network Folder<backup>` via your OS. However, you may use a powered external drive, or external drive via a powered USB 3.0 hub, connected directly to your Embassy if you prefer.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: If you still choose to plug into your Embassy, this drive MUST have external power, or be connected via a powered USB hub in order to prevent any data corruption due to power constraints! Embassy One (NASPi Geekworm case with built-in power management) and Embassy Pro users can safely ignore this warning.

#. Ensure your backup drive is properly formatted. The recommended format at this time is ``exFAT``. **Do not** use ``fat32``.
|
|
|
|
#. If your drive is self-powered, you can plug it directly into your Embassy blue USB 3.0 slot. If not, first plug the drive into a powered USB hub, then plug the hub into your Embassy. Then you may power it up.

|
|
#. Go to *System > Create Backup*
