@Uberwaltz, thanks for providing that info.
I wouldn't count on that, though, as indicating that copying to a hard drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) connected to one of the Vault's USB ports would work. Chances are the thumb drive was formatted with the FAT32 file system, which Windows, Macs, and the Linux operating system that is presumably used by the Vault can all work with. But it would likely be a different story with an HDD or SSD, that would usually be formatted in NTFS (for Windows) or APFS or its predecessor HFS+ (for Macs).
As big_greg indicated, though, a Windows or Mac computer communicating with the Vault via a network (i.e., with the Vault being used as a NAS) should be able to copy its stored files, and write them to either an internal or external drive on that computer. Was that what you were doing when you copied the Vault's files using JRiver?
BTW, as a point of information, many stand-alone computer-like devices run Linux. Presumably because it is free, and possibly in some cases also because it is "open source" and can be modified.
Best,

And I made a USB thumb drive with selected albums from it to play on my Ayre EX8 direct from one of its USB ports which also works just fine.
