How is Linux if you eject the disk without doing it through the O/S will it screw the drive up like Windows will if there are any pending writes or does Linux always write directly to the disk without caching so that once it's completed a backup you can remove it?
Don't use USB drives with ClearOS - but do with Fedora. It caches. When copying large media files notice that the copy can take up to several minutes to complete after the system indicates it is ready for more commands. Removing the USB drive before the cache is empty obviously creates incomplete file(s) and corruption. Suspect ClearOS could be the same...
Know nothing about BMBackup as custom rsync scripts are used here. Maybe all the drives could have the same label and mounted using the "LABEL=xxxxx" option? Not sure of the wisdom of this... you would need to think that through. -
