Hi

is it possible to use backup exec to backup to an external USB terrabyte hard drive, using specific locations?

Ie on the hard drive have a folder for monday, tuesday, wednesday etc.

I want to set it to carry out backups on monday, tuesday, wednesday etc overwriting the backup each day

I know the built in windows backup can do it but I seem unable to find out how to do it with backup exec

thanks

Ian
 
Yes it is possible.

Under Devices - Right click, Backup-to-Disk Folders
Click, New Backup to Disk Folder - Choose the path to your USB drive. Press ok.

Then you can backup to your USB device.
