Is anyone using the free VEEAM backup agent for Windows to do alternate backups to 2 or more external USB drives?

Allowing at least 1 drive to be rotated offsite at any given time?

I just can't see from the settings available how this could be done.

You may need to use the community edition of B&R to get this capability instead of just using the basic agent.

Yep, settings, manage registered storage devices. Works great. (in the basic Veeam Agent for Windows)
