I have 3 hot swapable hard drives I use for back up. I
would like to use MSbackup configured to perform a daily
differencial back up set to append, and weekly
differencial set to replace the daily diff append file,
and weekly normal backup.

I copied these three backup files and directories to all
three hot swapable drives and then set up schedule for
each backup; daily diff append, weekly diff replace,
weekly normal.

When I swap the drives I recieve the following message
when the replace backups are run. "The requested media is
not blank, the file is from another application. Do you
want to proceed anyway?" How can I automate or scripted
the backup so that this dialoge box will alway choose yes?

Click to expand...
Place the replace backup in a batch files and have the batch
delete the .bkf files before the backup starts.
