Re: DP v3.5 SP1 with two Ext USB Removeable Drives
You have the destination selection set right. Set the job to use both drives and it will automatically use whichever drive is attached. The only diference is the job needs to name the media. If you use the default name "Media" for the first drive, the files on the second drive will be written to "Media:1" -- not exactly what you wanted but it is diferentiated so that the application knows which file it is writing to.
If you ever need to recover a specific version of a file, simply attach BOTH USB drives and the application will figure out which one to read from.

Re: DP v3.5 SP1 with two Ext USB Removeable Drives
I used 2 USB memory devices since I didn't have any actual disk drives. I made sure both were connected and recognized by Data Protector Express when I set up the job and selected both as destinations. I left everything else in the destination screen at the defaults.
To run the test I removed one of the USB devices and ran the backup. The media name was set to the default "Media" by the backup.
I then re-attached the USB drive I had removed BEFORE removing the other drive. I think this may be a key step. It forces the USB drive to a different drive letter.
When I ran the backup a second time the new media named "Media:1" was created. From that point on, the job logs showed that what ever USB device was connected the appropriate media was used.
I'll do some more testing today and see if I get different results.
