you can use the backup to folder option and have two of the drives setup so it is assigned the same drive letter, you can only have two drives plugged in at one time, you static drive (e.g. assigned the X: drive) and one of your two rotation drives (both assigned Y: drive)<br />
<br />
You can then write a script that will execute whatever backup you want to do look here for tips on creating your script<br />

I have a 2012 Foundation Server with 3 External Drives connected. I would like to keep one drive always connected and rotate the other 2. Will this work? It seems the backups are only being stored on the drive that is always connected.

Windows Server 2012 Backup with Multiple USB Drives

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.

Remote Access

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
