Help with backup to different drives
My backup plan is for a full backup on Sunday day, and do differtential on monday night thru thursday night. All sounds easy but our issues is we have two RDX drives connected to the server. One for weekend and one for weekdays. Acronis (to my knowladge) will only backup to one device. So in the past I had a vbs script that ran thru scheduler to switch drive letters. This setup has issues so I'm looking for a better option.
I came from Symantec where you had the option to do this.

The weekend may not always get pulled on monday so then the differentinal will try to run on the weekend tape. Same as if the thursday night tape is not pulled then it will try to run the weekend on it. Our weekend tap is 1tb and weekdays are 500 gb

Hello Charles,
Sorry for the late reply.
Since you have two different RDX drives, I would suggest creating two different plans. The big downside for this is that the first backup to you weekday drive will be a full and I would recommend running another full on this drive set every month or so.
