Backup task and weekly flash drive rotating
Hello, I have a customer who I have recommended Acronis True Image 2010 Home and to also buy 2 16GB USB flash drives to swap every week, and to full compressed backs can fit on each drive. What I would like to do and I have been having some issues with this is to have 2 tasks we will call them A and B, A runs even weeks and B runs Odd weeks ( open to a better setup for this ) I am looking to do a Rolling back up so the oldest backup is dropped off, IE back 1 is on 06/09 back up 2 is made on 06/10 then on 06/11 backup 1 is then dropped off and replaced. the issue I am running in to is them swapping the flash drives once a week. the goal I am after is to have a task that runs after the store closes at 7p that does a system back up of the whole computer. and since I really only have 14 GB to work with after formatting, her backups right now are 6Gb I know this will get bigger over time but I dont see it being to much of a issue at this point, I would like to have a Rolling back up PLUS swapping the flash drives once a week. the tasks seem to get confused and are not doing the clean up correctly. maybe because of the flash drives being swapped. but the drives are labeled, and they swap them every Saturday. any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Michael
