Hi Giovanni,

The alternative to scripted NTbackup is to use BackupAssist.
Much simpler because all you do is in the backup destination section, you can add a %Medialabel% variable in your destination path to your External HDD.

Medialabel variable gets replaced by the "Day of the week".

This means that you get:
Monday-Backup in extern HDD in E:\Backup\Monday\xxxxx
Tuesday-Backup in Extern HDD in E:\Backup\Tuesday\xxxxx

Hope that helps.

S.C.
