Have been wanting to schedule backups of multiple drives (not just partitions) since building a new system recently. IFW appears to not support multiple drive backups simultaneously via the UI, and it's not clear if IFW supports multiple instances of the app if I were to schedule multiple backups at the same time.
Is this possible? As I would like to not have to schedule separate backups on different days just to work around this limitation. Thanks.
How to schedule backups of multiple drives at once?
Re: How to schedule backups of multiple drives at once?
IFW can not have more than one instance running, so your backups would
have to be run sequentially, or one after the other.
You could check out my IFW_Backup package in the Scripts forum, which
will let you define several hard disks to be backed up in the one
backup definition. (IFW would be run several times sequentially, of
course.)

Thanks. It's hardly what I'd call easy though, there's a fair amount of things to do getting it running from reading the readme. Would be far easier if IFW offered the ability to backup multiple drives sequentially.
Also a belated Merry Christmas to everyone
