hello

How is it possible to create a server backup task on multiple USB Harddisks ?

Something like this:
Sunday: Full Backup on USB-Disk 1
Monday - Satureday: Inkrementell Backup on USB-Disk 2-6

When i create a normal Task with Destination on the external Drive it backup ok but if i change the external Drive, the Backup fails because he didn't find the Backup Destination..

any idea?

thank you

If you are going to backup like that, you need to make sure the removable hard drives both have the same drive letter when you plug them in, if they are accessed by a network share, you need to make sure the share is created on both the drives with the same name and right permissions.

I use a simple pre backup script that uses diskpart to select the disk, partition and to assign drive letter.

There are known issues with rotating disks, but backup destination not found will occur if the drive isnt maounted and has a different letter/folder structure where you put the backups or network share availability.
