Is it possible to format a drive readable by Windows, mount it outside the array and run a backup program to keep a copy of a share on the array to this new drive. Basically, I am trying to see if I can install a hard drive in my server case, and have it formatted with a format that a Windows computer can use. And have this drive outside of the array. I want to use it as a backup drive of my "archive" share, (that's on the array), incase there is a major failure of the server/array, so I could at least have this "archive" folder safe and secure and I could just pop it into another computer to retrieve the contents. (I will also be setting up a cloud backup someday.) Thank you

Yes, you can use the UD plugin with an NTFS formatted drive.
