Windows no longer recognises external disk as NTFS
I've got an external hard disk which I was using to back up two computers. The last time I used it it was recognised properly as containing an NTFS volume by both computers (both running Windows 10). However this time it is no longer recognised properly by either of the two computers I have tried to connect it to (including one of the ones it worked with last time). Disk manager sees it as containing a "healthy" volume, but not an NTFS one. What could be causing this and what can I do about it? The most important thing for me is to know whether or not the drive can be relied upon for future backups.
