I have 5 drives, I set the backup to 5 x drives, since we backup M/F
each week - the problem is that if you're off on one day, or you do a
manual backup, the count gets skewed and you end up with SBS not
deleting the older backups, so the drive fills and the backups fail and
you have to manually delete them to get it back in sync.

You could also do a full manual backup, write a script to save the files
as MONDAY.BKF, TUESDAY.BKF.... I do this on non-SBS systems sometimes.
