Hi,
I have two problems:

1) I have to backup multiple servers and their composed storage exceeds
the capacity of my current backup media (500Gb SATA disk); I will add a
second one and that would be enough (for the time being). Problem is I
would like to avoid using Virtual Volumes (LVM), if at all possible, so
I thought I could backup some servers on one disk and others on the
other, but I don't know how (end if it is possible at all), since I see
only one TopDir setting and nothing comparable in the per-host configs.
How should I proceed?

2) I am a bit confused about the schedule configuration. What I would
like to achieve is just a single backup cycle: Full backup once a week
and daily Incremental ones; as soon as I have a complete new Full I want
to discard all old ones (Full & Incremental). What is the right setting
to achieve this?

Many Thanks in Advance
Mauro
