Can anyone tell me (before I do some testing) whether I can set up a file and folder backup to run on 2 different portable hard drives. I have two hard drives I plan to swap out every few months, taking one drive to an off-site location.
My concern from working with file and folder backups in the past is they work off the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\FileBackup\catalog.dat file and thus I am concerned when I swap drives, a full incremental will not be performed, i.e. it will only backup files vs. what is in the catalog.dat vs. what is on the backup disk. I could delete the catalog.dat file each time I swap disks and get a full backup of my important files but this is a pain. Or, since I will have 2 different jobs setup, will Ghost recognize this is a different disk and catalog data accordingly?
See my previous post for more details on issues with file and folder backups and how they work...
