Backing up and swapping external drives weekly.

Thread needs solution

I'm having a problem getting True Image Home 2009 to backup properly.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish......
Backup data in a single folder to my external drive. Have the program do a daily scheduled backup with any new files. Every Monday, swap the external drive with another (exact same model) and have the program backup the last week that it missed, as well as a daily scheduled backup with any changes until the following Monday when the drives are swapped again. Repeat.

Possible??? I've been fighting with this for awhile.

Would it be easier to make the drive letters unique and schedule 2 different backup jobs?

I think assigning diff drive letters will save you a lot of agravation. With older version of ATI, what you want wouldn't be so difficult -- ATI didn't try to maintain a database of backups. But since ATI insists on "knowing what's its done" it's best not to test its memory by substituting drives. There are some folks onthe forum that regularly swap drives and maybe one of them can chime in.
