Does anyone have a suggestions for a USB drive to use for back up and can I just leave it plugged in all the time and set up scheduled back ups?
 
i use a 4gig flash drive and leave it permanently, and do a scheduled back up to it once a month...
 
Once you plug the USB drive in make sure you do an immediate backup to it to test connectivity. Sometimes the USB drives don't mount properly and you have to reboot the BCM to get them to mount.
