Add new backup harddisk to backup schedule

Post by admin »

When trying to add an additional harddisk(s) to MS SBS 2011. A generic error unable to add disk to backup schedule.

The how-to from the KB:

Connect new drive

Run the following command from an elevated command prompt to determine the Disk Identifier of the new disk:
wbadmin get disks
Based on the output, locate the disk that will be added to the scheduled backup. Make a note of the Disk Identifier. The output will resemble the following:
Disk name: xxxxxxxxxxx
Disk number: x
Disk identifier: {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
Total space: xxx.xx GB
Used space : xxx.xx GB
Run the following command to add the new disk to the Scheduled backup. Use the Disk Identifier from the previous step as the "AddTarget" parameter.
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget:{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
When you receive the following prompt, type Y for Yes.

"Do you want to enable scheduled backups with the above settings?"

Now, there were a few more prompts after point 4 that we said Yes to.
