You're right. It's supposed to backup again at 6 p.m. I will set a timer and then go check my drive and see what it's doing. Thanks, Artie.

As long as you can feel the drive doing something, don't go any further.

When it's stopped all activity, you can unplug it safely.

(I just edited my last post.)

My two externals differ from each other and from yours, Rita, so there's obviously neither standards nor consistency as respects those lights; you'll just have to pay attention and learn from experience.
