Question : Problem: Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery doesn't backup when destination drive is changed to another disk

Using Windows 2003 Server and Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery

Have stup a base and incremental job.

On mondays it takes a base backup and all other days it takes an incremental backup. The destination is an USB disk connected to a network/usb link.

It works fine as long as we dont change the disk on a wrong date. If we change the disk on a wednesday for example it cannot do the incremental backup since the base image is stored on a disk that is no longer present. That makes good sense.

My question is: Is it possible to have BESR to take a new base image whenever the base image is not availabele?

No. The base must be in the same location if you are making an incremental job.
