========================
Backup to Physical Drive
========================
.. warning:: Create frequent backups to avoid loss of data!

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 Start9 server if you prefer.
.. warning:: If you still choose to plug into your Start9 server, 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 (NASPi Geekworm case with built-in power management) and Server 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 Start9 server blue USB 3.0 slot. If not, first plug the drive into a powered USB hub, then plug the hub into your Start9 server. Then you may power it up.
#. Go to *System > Create Backup*

#. When the backup is complete, you will receive a notification. If successful, you will see the date and time of your most recent backup updated under "Backups" in the System tab.
