Hi

SBS 2011 standard.

I am using option 3 from here https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2009365/error-message-when-you-try-to-add-an-additional-disk-to-a-scheduled-ba to add a disk to the backup set but I am getting an 'Incorrect function' error. Log below.

How can I add the disk to the backup set if not all disks are connected at the same time?

Thanks

Regards

    Hi

    When I tried adding the disk it was blank. Afterwards I am manually running backup (Backup Once) and it does the full backup fine.

    Thanks
