We use DPM 2010 to backup (&quot;protect&quot;) our company data to an external USB hard drive. We have a second identical USB hard drive. I am hoping to configure DPM to allow us to swap the USB drives once a week in order to store one of them offsite. Do you know how we would configure DPM for this?

The term is most frequently used in relation to failure of networks, but DR preparations also include other business systems and personnel considerations.

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.
