Adding second drive to SBS2011 backup ends with error

Hello,

I have fresh installation of SBS 2011 Standard.
I have configured the backup using 1 USB drive - the backup worked fine etc. , but now I want to add second drive to the backup. When I do that using the "Configure server backup" task in the SBS 2011 console it eventually ends with error: " Cannot configure backup schedule" - please see the screenshot.
I tried to do this using regular Windows Backup controlls, wih no luck.
Any ideas?

You haven't exceeded the storage capacity of the USB backup drive have you?

RobWill - no I have not

cqaliher - WOW - that sound like a bug not a design choice - I will try to have that going as soon as I find another power adapter.(and if I find one)

So that would mean that if I set up 3 drives at the original setup and one of the drives dies (or is in the off site) I can't add any new device to backup? Weird or what? :)

RobWill - great solution and on the top of it - it worked! with the exception that WBADMIN assigns its own name to the drive ... and I had such a nice label on it - oh well se la vie :)

I will share points with Cliff as he pointed in the right direction
