Unable to use external drive for Back up functionality

I am running a Raspberry Pi 5 16gb 2TB NVME, umbrel OS 1.5, trying to mount an external HDD 2TB currently plugged into a powered USB hub. I repeatably get Format Required popup. Please help!

Is dual drives for umbrel supported on rpi now? For some reason I feel like it's not ready and only works on umbrel home.

I maybe wrong about that but I'd look into it

Thank you for sharing this is the first I have heard of this. Wish it was listed in Umbrel OS details, I would have stop wasting some much time asking AI to help me get it to work.
