Backing up more than one directory at a time on a single hard disk

[pmulcahy]

I backup by directory to external hard drives. I backup by directory due to space limitations on the external hard drives I have, and for organization purposes. In Retrospect 7, however, you can't set it for immediate backups of more than one directory on the same hard disk at the same time. I'd really like to set all my backups at once, so I can simply get the entire backup process going and then go to bed, run errands, take my dog for a walk, etc., while the process is running and not have to babysit Retrospect and tell it what to back up one directory at a time.

Hi Paul,

 

You can backup multiple local directories simultaneously but allowing them to run in multiple execution units. You would need several scripts running at the same time and writing to different backup sets, but this could be done.
