I want to know how to do 5-day backup to Maxtor OneTouch

[rridder]

I have just installed my new Maxtor OneTouch drive on my Windows XP system and

would like to set up a script to do a 5-day backup routine. Ideally the backups would be stored

on the OneTouch drive in a subfolder named "Five Day Backups".

 

I have tried to do this by editing the "EasyScript Backup" script, but can't figure out what the

script is trying to do. I can't seem to specify where I want the backups stored. When the script

runs it stops after calculating what it wants to back up and asks me to insert a new disk saying it

needs 10 Gbytes more space. My data is approximately 22 Gbytes, so where is it trying to put

the first 12 Gbytes? Overall I find the software to make almost no sense. It seems that I should

be able to say what I want to back up (it doesn't ask me that), what method or options I want to use

(it doesn't ask me that), and where I want the backup data stored (it doesn't ask me that either).

 

Can someone give me clear, step-by-step instructions for this process?

Hi

 

Go into configure-> backup sets and click on each backup set. On the members tab specify the Maxtor drive. Make sure you do this for each set. The easy script should then work as is.
