Naim Core music library backup. Help!!!!!!!!!! Not a techno guy, not an idiot.

My old library was transferred successfully by a shop from my old Naim UnitiServe to my present Naim Core, so we know it's in FLAC.  I've added substantially to the Naim Core and wish to backup the files and eventually transfer my library to a new Naim Core plus have it all backed up.

I'm using a Seagate 2 TB USB 3.2 Gen 1 SSD.  Because everything is in FLAC, usage is around 600GB in the current library, so more than enough room (2775 CDs).

I've formatted the Seagate to Apple as I use an iPAD.  That's my reasoning.  It formats and off we go.  It shows backup in progress for 41,525 files.  5.5 hours later we are 50% complete.  It finishes, shows success and on the readout shows files to process 0, and files backed up 0.

I've repeated this now 3 times with same result.  All seems well until the end.  What am I missing?  Thank you, thank you, thank you for any insight.

425 miles from the dealer.  I hear you.  British companies seem oft detached from American market reality.  I've Sugden pieces, customer service non-existent.  Rega works.  Thanks for insight.

I can try the non Apple format.  Naim support online is kind of brief and not helpful to me.  Thanks for response.

After a fourth try, and having done nothing differently, the Samsung SSD backup now says that 41,575 files have transferred.  We'll see.  Still would appreciate any input.  Thanks

I sense a common theme.  Thanks everyone for responses.  It's the horse I'm on, so be it.  It does sound great, just the backup thing is driving me a bit nuts.  I feel as if used simply loaded and for listening, it is great.  Otherwise, challenging. Thank you.
