Configuring backup job to removable disk backup server - Need advice!

I am using a backup server/appliance that allows me to eject IDE drives and store them offsite. I am trying to configure our backup job to backup to the removable disk media and have a backup job that is larger than 1 of the disks. The system I am using has 4 400GB IDE drives that can all be used for backup. How do I configure a 600GB backup job to backup to more than one drive and use removable drives D and E for one large job?

Thanks in advance

Can you configure the 4 IDE removable drives into a cascading drive pool?

That is exactly what I did and it worked great. I checked with the support at my hardware vendor Idealstor and that is what they recommended as well. The job can now span disks for that larger job.

Thanks for the help!
