I have set up a friend's box and he currently has a NTFS USB HDD which he uses for films and recordings from channels. However, when I tried to set up timeshift it states the HDD must be EXT2 3 or 4. All the drivers are installed for NTFS and FAT32. Is there a way around this otherwise this function is not available. Surely it's not down to speed.

It will not be possible to format the HDD as it has nearly 300GB of contents.

Cheers,

Bal
