Ok, I give. Please help me understand what you meant about "decide whether the new hard drive will be a new member or a recycled member of an existing Media/Backup Set, or whether it will be the first member of a new Media/Backup Set."
I have 6 Media Sets, and each has a single Member that is recycled when each backup script runs, see previous post. 6 scripts, one for each Media Set. Right now I'm using an early 2008 iMac with a 2.66 Core 2 Duo and 6GB of RAM running 10.8.5 for a proof of concept. If we get everything worked out, then we'll be using our current Mac mini (I do not know the hardware of that one) with 10.6.8.
The purpose of my backup schedules is so we can separate each week, and each month. I'm also trying to get an idea of the steps I would need to take in order to include hard drive swapping. You mentioned that I would not need to recreate any of my backup folders, how would I go about doing this?
Sorry if this has been covered in previous forum entries, or in the User Guide. Either I'm not looking in the right sections of the guide, I feel as if the some of the documentation is vague.
Thanks again.
