Do you mean that a volume used for a weeky or daily backup will be set to 'Used' by the end of the week? I was imagining something like this: USBHDDA: WeeklyVol01 WeeklyVol03 WeeklyVol05 DailyVol01 DailyVol03 MonthlyVol01 USBHDDB: WeeklyVol02 WeeklyVol04 DailyVol02 DailyVol04 MonthlyVol02 So after four weeks, Daily volumes would be reused and if a HDD was plugged in that didn't have an available Daily volume, a new one would be created, i.e. if HDDA is removed on Monday and USBHDDB is plugged in, for the backup on Monday night DailyVol06 would be created. And so on for Weekly and Monthly volumes. I'm pretty sure this kind of thing can be achieved with the right settings, correct?
