    Question Is there any way to get Win 7 backup to use multiple backup devices /partitions?

    I finally gave up on Backup My PC and went to Win 7 backup, but my external drive does not hold more than 2 backup cycles' worth of data. I'd like to use excess space (in a separate partition) on a 2 TB internal drive to offload some backups, but I can find no way of doing this.

    Any ideas?

    TIA,

    Steve Samson

    Hi Steve, have you considered just moving the back ups default save to place? That way you could leave the files intact which in turn means less chance for corruption.
