Using multiple back-up sets

I've been using Retrospect Express for almost a year now, but have recently run into some problems, which began when our system became too large for one DVD+RW. The solution, I thought, was to backup half the system one day and the other half the next. To do this, I created two automated scripts to run at midnight: One for Monday/Wednesday and one for Tuesday/Thursday. On Fridays, the scripts would alternate--one week it would run the Mon/Wed, and the next Friday the Tues/Thurs.

 

For each script, I've selected the Backup set to be "Vertical Backup", but this morning, for example, I came in and the script had not run because it couldn't find "Vertical Backup-4"... the DVD+RW in the drive was a brand new, empty DVD.

 

I'm very confused by this and am hoping someone on this board can help me. One more piece of info: I use a different DVD+RW each day. Is that my problem? Last night, was it looking for the exact DVD+RW that it used the night before to successfully backup?

 

Please advise.
