Matthew,
I probably could have done a better job of explaining my situation, too ;-) Let
me try again.
Let's say that I have, in addition to the system folder, folders A, B, C, and D,
and I want to backup folders A and C to StorageSet 1, folders B and D to
StorageSet 2, and the system folder to StorageSet 3. Now, each time I want to
backup any of the folders to their respective StorageSet, and I go to the
Immediate Backup window, select a StorageSet, I have to hit the "Backing up"
button to select the folders that I want to backup to that StorageSet.
This has to be done each time I do a backup, and I was wondering how I might
coerce RE into "remembering" which folders go with which StorageSets so that each
time I want to backup a StorageSet it would know which folders are associated
with that StorageSet. I could write an EasyScript script, but I would need one
for each of the StorageSets, and RE allows for only one EasyScript script.
