Ok, simple question. I am planning to buy 2 X 2 terrabyte drives for backups. My question is, can Backup Exec be set to not overwrite so I could have 2 weeks+ worth of backups contained on 2 seperate drives. I'm not backing up enough to fill the drives up in one go.

Thanks for your advice.
 
Yes, you can configure the media set to not overwrite until a specify period of time (hours/days/months/year). Create a new 'media set' under 'MEDIA' tab'. Then when you're creating your job - under 'Destination: Device and Media', select your media set.
