Aug 30, 2012 1:11 PM in response to evedotarby LaPastenague,USB drive must be recognised by the TC.. often this does not work without using a powered hub.
Then the USB drive needs to be formatted HFS+ for the TM backup to work.

Aug 31, 2012 6:19 AM in response to LaPastenagueby evedotar,Thank you for the answer. The drive is correctly formatted and powered, I can see it on the Airport Utility and on TM pref, but when I try to back up I receive an error message "backup drive not available". It's the same on all 3 macs that backup to the external drive. Is there something I can change in yhe settings to make it work?
