Not possible when connected to the EX485. You could (temporary) attach to a client machine and add it to the backup for that client.

I have a 500G WD MyBookPro attached to my EX485. I have not "added" it to the storage or backup volumes in "WHS Console" because for the moment I want to access it as a separate NAS drive. But I want to share it off my newest platform, the EX485, rather than my older (read slower) laptop clients. I've sucessfully attached the drive in "WHS desktop", and shared it with full permissions to clients as the M: drive. I then mapped the M: drive on the clients with their destop explorer. My question is, how can I back this drive up onto the EX485 backup volume? Can I just mirror its root M: folder to the EX485 via "Folder Duplication"?
Thanks for confirming BetaVirus. I'm now steadily copying media off the USB drive to the proper server folders. So I either add the USB drive to a storage or backup volume, or use it as an off-site backup (via copies from "storage" folders).
I use the back up add in for my usb hard drive and then take it off site. It backs up your whole server. check out the review here. http://usingwindowshomeserver.com/2009/09/27/windows-home-server-backup-datab...
