    Windows 7 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...
