I've read through a number of posts on various forums about setting up a rotating backup task with HyperBackup. I've got a USB enclosure where I can swap bare disks. I've set up a single version backup task and the task successfully completes to the first disk I've used.
I then swapped that out for a blank drive of the same capacity. The backup task target tells me that disk has the same shared folder, directory, and owner, yet the backup task fails when I run it on that disk. The error I'm getting is:
I understand from other forum posts that HyperBackup puts some metadata about the backup on the disk (like the version_info.db), yet those posts suggest a rotating backup is possible. Do I then have to copy all that metadata to every disk I want to use in the rotating backup? I'd prefer to stay with a single backup task rather than having to create a separate one for each disk I'm using, but if that's what I need to do
