We have a continual problem with BE2010 and all previous versions. The issue is that unlick Backup Exec for Windows Servers the Hard Drives are not assigned into a Media Pool. Most of our customers will purchase the software and two hard drives. Because they usually only have one server, the simple backup to a hard drive image everynight is a perfectly acceptable way to backup. However everynight when the backup runs, it will look for a specific backup device instead of a media pool, and if the device isn't plugged in the backup fails.
This is very frustrating, because our customers want to simply have two external hard drives, and take one off site everyday. Pretty simple setup yet seemingly unobtainable.
Is there a way to configure this in BE2010 that I don't know of?
