Backup to disk question

[kurtish_99]

I'm running BE 2010 R3, and I have something weird going on with my backup to disk setup. I currently have 2 backup to disks set up (see below) I went to go add another drive (G) to my rotation, and when I plugged it in, it changed Ext 2's path to g:\backup so I couldn't actually go add another backup to disk. Is there a way to prevent this?

B2D Name                  Path

Ext 1                          e:\backup

Ext 2                          f:\backup

Ext 3 (desired)            g:\backup

Is there already a backup2disk folder on the drive (I assume USB disk) that you plugin into the server ?

Are you trying to setup Standard Backup to Disk folder or are you selecting Removable Backup To Disk folder...??

Thanks,

If it's a removable device. Follow the appropriate wizard under tools.

If you want to rotate disks, you should give each B2D folder its own directory.  See my article on this subject.

Although it is written before R3 is out, it is still applicable to R3.
