I have a Hyper Backup Task set up to back up to a USB drive. Everything works fine. I want to alternate backups monthly between 2 USB drives. However, when I unplug the first drive, and plug in the second drive, it gives the second drive the same name (USB Disk 1) and the Shared Folder also has the same name (usbshare1). I was under the impression that I had to create a separate Task for each drive, but it does not seem right that the Shared Folder has the same name. Should I be renaming the Shared Folder for the second drive? Or should I be doing something else different? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
As you’ve noticed, you don’t need to create two tasks for this — swapping in another USB works fine. If your intent is to keep one drive from last month + the currently used drive and have as complete and easy restorations as possible, your setup is perfect for that.
If you change the file structure, e.g., #1, #2, then you’re going to have problems with the indexing, etc… It will get very complicated and very time consuming, both in creations and restorations.
