How to make several backups on the same hard disk?

Hello!

I'd like to make several backups on the same hard-disk. Each backup must be on a separate folder. Example:
- folders to backup:
- d:\FO-01
- d:\FO-02
- d:\FO-03
- d:\FO-04
- d:\FO-05

- must be backuped to the following folders:
(the name of the folder must be incremented automatically)
- z:\monday01
- z:\monday02
- z:\monday03
- ...

Is it a way to make such things under Windows Vista???

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

you could setup a profile with the following source / target pairs:

d:\FO-01 <-> z:\<date>\FO-01
d:\FO-02 <-> z:\<date>\FO-02
d:\FO-03 <-> z:\<date>\FO-03
d:\FO-04 <-> z:\<date>\FO-04
d:\FO-05 <-> z:\<date>\FO-05

Switch on the option to create source/target folders that do not exist (under profile settings -> folders).

<date> is replaced with the date of the day the profile is executed.

thanks!

It works fine! Thanks!

Is a printable user manual available, with such tips?

I was about to ask an almost identical question, except that I have photographs and several years of quicken data that I want to store as securely as possible, along with music and other data. I am thinking about going with a RAID array-not cheap but given the importance of my data and the work the wiseacre must have put into his music collection security may be more important than price. Does anyone else think this is a reasonable solution and if so, any recommendations as to manufacturers, models, etc.? I too am on a MAC.
