If you do a full disk image backup to the USB external Easeus allows you to mount the image on the external hard drive as a virtual drive allowing you to copy any file out of the image. Having the files on your main computer and a USB external seems sufficient to me.Įaseus allows full disk image backup and file/folder backup, both full, incremental, and differential and the ability to also schedule the backups. I see no advantage of using two external drives unless perhaps you were going to store one offsite. If by File History you mean file/folder backup and not a full image backup you can use a program like Easeus Todo Backup Free to create a file/folder backup to one drive then copy that image to another. I know of no software that would let you back up to 2 drives at the same time. From my understanding Microsoft is deprecating their system image backup feature in the new Fall Creators Update. I don't know how one would accomplish this on USB externals if this is what your are using.
It's really very demoralising after an upgrade to find the one simple thing that worked OK before to just stop working.I don't recommend you use RAID for backup drives. and there's no advice to be found anywhere on the net. I'm backing up 2.5TB every night, so using USB disks is not an option. not an option for me due to hardware limitations. Not only is the UI mechanism for adding another drive still broken as it was in 2KR2, now the command line option for adding additional drives is also broken! (wbadmin enable backup -addtarget: gives an error message "The system cannot find the path specified" - as WB apparently expects to see all backup drives connected to the computer before it can add a new one. until I had to add the second drive to the Windows Server Backup set today. I spent my Friday upgrading to Server 2012, hoping to make use of some of the newer features - and everything worked fine.
Sure, it fell over from time to time - but there was no extra cost, and I could run the backup virtual machines directly off the backup disks if required.
I've been using Windows Backup with a set of 5 Hot Swap Sata Drives for the last 2 years, as a cheap and simple backup solution for our Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-v Server.
