Hello,
i hope my Subject does not confuse too much.

In Detail:
I use an external hdd to make a backup from my B3 with the integrated Backup Function.
I ask myself now how can i get to the files in on the external HDD (the Backup). When i connect the external "Backup" HDD with my Windows PC i get the message "Unknown filesystem. Please format."

So how can i get to the files in the Backup when my B3 is broken?

You may find an answer here: https://www.howtoforge.com/access-linux ... om-windows

Alternatively: get yourself a Ubuntu Live CD/USB or the likes and boot from it. It will get you into a linux desktop from where you can access the backup disk and the Windows partitions and copy files between them. Who knows? You might like it so much that you want to press the install button. :mrgreen:
