We have two external usb disk drives. We would like to implement a grandfather, father son configuration to perform daily backups Monday- Thursday (Differential). Then we would like to have a full backup every Friday, and a full monthly backup. We need support on how to configure the backup to disk folders create the media sets, set the correct overwrite/ append protection levels. Anysupport would be appreciated.

You would change the retention period of the media sets involved (as mentioned above)

Also, from Tools\Options\Media Management  verify that the option to "use overwriteable media in the target media set before scratch media" is selected
