NTBackup Question - External USB Hard Drive

[Karl Burrows]

Hi!

I am trying to setup two backups. One daily Mon-Thur and one weekly on
Fridays. I setup the backup (normal backup, verify and set the schedules)
and setup two partitions on an external USB hard drive for each backup. The
problem is it will run the first item (or a few times) and then tells me the
drive is full and it can not backup. I think what is happening is it is
creating a new backup set each time instead of updating the existing backup
file. What settings do I need to use to correct this and have it just
update the backup set I created? Do I just change the type to daily or is
there something else? I think ntbackup was made more for tapes where there
is a rotation, so this just keeps building on itself.

Thanks!

IT may have to do with the backup type you are choosing.
Here is an article which explains different backup types and choose which
suits your needs best.
