Thanks all for the help...making progress...really appreciate the responses

As I continue to explore the new 4.1rc3 another issue comes up that I can't 
remember experiencing with 4.0 and it seems important:

When I try to back up my system and insert a WD external hard drive I get 
an error when I try to mount it, specifically "Error mounting /dev/sda1 at 
run/media/user/easystore: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3,ntfs'

- I tried both USB ports, same error
- I tried multiple hard drives, including the one I used with my 4.0 setup, 
same error
- I see the device in my sys-usb but the error comes when I try to mount 
the device
- I can mount a small USB drive and transfer files but when I put in a 
large disk the error occurs
- I tried backing up on a 32g thumb drive and it started to back up but 
then errored out with the following: "ERROR: Writing backup to VM failed: 
cat: write error: File too large (I use a dedicated VM for my 
email(Thunderbird) which has a lot of emails.
- Never had this problem with my 4.0 set up
- I googled and found similar issues but nothing with a solution

The above is my biggest issue right now but also had a few other questions:
- USB-C doesn't seem to work? Not a big deal but I can't mount a USB-C 
thumbdrive(in all fairness I was using a regular USB and used a dongle to 
convert to USB-C). I found an old thread that mentioned USB-C isn't 
supported in Qubes...
- My Thunderbird VM(dedicated VM to email) seems to constantly be 
downloading emails (I remember this from my 4.0 set up and it eventually 
stopped) but I have a large number of emails. Is there a better way to 
manage this? Can I some how save these emails with out deleting them? I 
changed "Private storage max size:" to 30g...not sure this is right but 
seems to make sense. I also changed Initial memory to 500MB and Max memory 
to 5000MB in an effort to add more resources to my email VM

The lack of being able to back-up is my biggest concern...
