Can a USB disk be mounted on a 4500

tfjonesjr · 01-27-2009, 06:09 PM

I would like to mount an NTFS formatted USB drive to a Snap 4500 running GuardianOS 3.2.026 . Is this possible?

I want to copy a large number of backups from the 4500 shares to the external 1TB USB drive without having to mount the USB drive on a PC and copying across the network.

Thanks
Tom Jones

If I recall the USB only supports printers on the GOS units. Unless they have added it on one of the new releases.

Thanks for the reply, thought that might be the case

An Adaptec tech told me a while back that they would not enable USB Keys and USB HDD support on GOS as some corporates would see it as a security risk...
