    Best solution, two removable drives?

     I had been following the posts about using two external drives and swapping them out (weekly).   What is the

    final suggestion for that?

    Perhaps use one 'onsite' all the time to include the incrementals, and use the second one to do a full once a week and

    just take it offsite?

     My customer would like to  put one in place, use it all week, then swap it with the other one.   I told him that he'd probably

    have to do a full as soon as a disk is plugged in for the incrementals to then run off it for a matched set.

    At the end of the week, he'd have a full and all the incrementals, and on Monday, do a full and continue.

     

    Any thoughts?

    It's really up to you.  Just keep in mind that if you have multiple jobs for the same volume, only one of those jobs can support incrementals.  The other jobs can only create bases.
