Thanks very much. It turned out that I am able to use Backup Exec which is on the server and just use device pools. Your script looks great though. I may use it in the future. Thanks for the tip.

I have a server 2003 server that has two usb 2.0 hard drives to back up to that are being swapped. <br />
<br />
I am using the built in NTBackup with Server 2003 although I do have Backup Exec 10 from Symantec as well.<br />
<br />
I want to have an easy backup that can be swapped, but the drives have different letters when connected. One is F and the other is Z.<br />
<br />
I could schedule Z backups on one week and F backups on another week, but sometimes the pattern gets disrupted if the person who swaps them forgets one week or is not there.<br />
<br />
is there an easy way to set this up?

Backup for two different USB drives that are swapped. Server 2003

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
