I just swapped some bigger drives into my Synology NAS and now have a spare 8TB and 4TB drive. I’d like to use them as an offsite backup. I tried to access the drives on my Windows 10 PC with a SATA reader and WinBTRFS, but apparently WinBTRFS can’t access Synology drives because they use LVM.

New plan is to reformat the drives to NTFS so Windows can access them natively (I have multiple backups so I’m fine if they get wiped). Anyone have experience with reformatting BTRFS to NTFS?

    Can’t you just reformat them from Windows? Through Disk Management, I guess, if you don’t see it directly in the Explorer
