Backup Create

Choose your backup target
-------------------------
You can back up your data to a physical drive plugged into the server, or over-the-air to a network folder shared from another device on the same LAN.
Physical Drive
..............
#. Ensure your backup drive is properly formatted. The recommended format at this time is ``exFAT``. **Do not** use ``fat32``.
#. Plug your physical drive into your server.
.. warning:: If you are using a low-powered device (like a RasPi), 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! Server One and Server Pure users can safely ignore this warning.
Network Folder
..............
Choose your destination platform below for instructions on creating and sharing a network folder.
