I would like to use an external drive for my backup location, but it will not recognize my drive. The external drive is connected and working but no matter what I do it will not connect.
Update to last FileFort release. It should detect your external drive just fine.

If by chance is still not working... select as backup destination "Network folder", and then select your external drive.
If Windows can see the drive, so do FileFort through this option.
