Daily backups to removable media
Hi
I apologise for asking a question which i would imagine has been previously addressed but i am very new to Acronis True Image 2016. We are looking to create a back up of a number of files to a removable hard drive on a daily basis. When i create the back up job it works fine and provided that i dont change the removable hard drive will work as per the schedule. However, we want to be able to use multiple removable drives so that we can have copies of our back up off site. When the removable media is changed the back up fails.
I previously used "back up my PC" by Roxio. This created a backup every night at a specified time, overwriting the previous backup, which it did regardless of which removable drive was attached.
Is there any way of making True Image do the same thing??
By the way, Cloud storage is not a viable option for us.
THanks in advance.
Greg.

I think that having multiple backup jobs (one for each drive) will still produce the results your looking for Greg. It also keeps things clean by ensuring only the backup jobs associated with that hard drive are in one place.
Alternatively, you could keep one primary drive always connected and robopy or use a sync tool to replicate the backup files from that drive to other drives before moving them offsite.
