Jurgen Beck Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 This may have been covered before, I just can't find any specific reference... Working with multiple external hard drives, what is the best way to configure the backup sets? Details: We have a number of external hard disks that we intend to rotate. There is always just one hard disk attached, which is assigned drive E: by Windows. When we want to add members to a backup set, Retrospect always complains that it cannot find a specific set. I assume that this is because we are always using drive E: and Retrospect thinks that it should have a backup folder on it. Question: What is the configuration we need to set up in Retrospect to use with rotating external hard drives? Thanks for any help! JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always just one hard disk attached, which is assigned drive E: by Windows. Don't let Windows assign the drive letter, E: in *every* case for you. Assign unique drive letters (usually easier further in the alphabet, R, S, T, U, ...) so that each of your removable HDs will have a unique letter when it's brought back on-line.
