Vista - Backing up files to alternating hard drives

I created file backups on two removable network hard drives so I can
regularly do incremental backups on the alternative disks. I want to keep one
disk offsite and switch them regularly.

When I try to alternate backup network hard drives the incremental backups
fail. Message reads: “The backup location cannot be found or is not valid.�
How can I regularly make incremental backups to these alternating removable
network hard drives?

You'll need to do a full backup once on each hard drive. Then you can do
incremental backups. An incremental backup has to have something to be
incremental *from*!

Thanks, but I did make full backups on each removable hard drive first. Incremental backups only seem to work on the disk with the latest full backup, so when I swich drives the incremental backups fail. I'm looking for a solution to this problem.

I have exactly same problem. I'm wondering if backup has a multiple
capability, or if better, more comprehensive, software has to be purchased.
I thought that in older versions of windows, there was an option to do
multiple schedules, or maybe I'm just thinking about "Scheduled Tasks"
