BCM 50 Rel 2 USB Backup Trouble

[pccal]

Anybody recommend a make of USB stick 8 to 16 GB that will work on the USB mount of a BCM. I have tried 5 or 6 sticks that are noname types & I can't get it to work. Always comes up with a major error saying fails USB mount.If I go back to my 2 GB Logitech stick it works no problem. I know that you can schedule to a Network Drive but this one customer wants to use the USB & he is getting tired of having to clear out the 2 GB stick every other month.

How regular are the backups?. Once a Month is usually pretty good and the USB stick should have been formatted as FAT32

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.

As I said in my post the backups work fine with a smaller 2 Gig stick. It is only when I try a noname 8 or 16 Gig stick & yes they are Fat32 formatted.It is not just one BCM that this happens on. I have tried it on 3 or 4 different switches & can never get the larger sticks to work. As a matter of interest the FAT32 is only an issue when you try & do a restore,the backup will work okay formatted as FAT.Once a month backups will not work for this law firm as they want their messages backed up every day.
