Cris,

Not sure is you'll get this. Is it possible to have multiple backup jobs
or
does the backup wizard only support one at a time? If I want to back to
tape
and USB hdd then I'll need to reconfigure the wizard each time, right? Any
thoughts?

Thanks,

Chris,

Looks like the drive you mentioned is the:

160GB SimpleDrive USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (designed by Pininfarina)
160
GB SP-U35/160

Is there any specific setup that's required before backing up to USB
drive
will work? I recall a registry tweak was necessary for the Iomega
drives some
people were trying.

Thanks again,
