Posted by Wondering how to create an offline disk back-up copy with more than one USB Disk? And not want to spend your IT budget on “Veeam cloud connect” This is originally not possible with the Veeam GUI because you can’t map 1 backup copy job against 2 USB disks. The job will fail because Veeam cant find one incremental which one is copied on the second USB disk which is on a safe place @home. I made a script for enabling and disabling the right copy job for each mapped USB disk.
