Windows 2012 Essentials Server Backup Questions

$

I've been running server backup for about 5 days now and I have some questions.

1.)  So far, server backup only reports one backup available (the last one).  My backup size is currently 732gb and my backup drive is 1394gb.  I would expect to be able to keep more than one copy if the backup is doing incremental backups.  But it appears to be doing a full backup each time which probably explains why I only have one copy.  The drives being backed up are NTFS, not REFS which I have seen as the culprit in another post.  Any ideas?

2.)  I want to setup a backup swap for offsite storage.  I only have one bay available to mount a backup drive at any time.  From what I've read, I would need to have both drives online in order to add them to the config at the same time.  Otherwise I'll have to re-run the backup wizard every time I swap the drives.  Is there a workaround for this?  Are there any plans to support backup sets with Windows Server Backup in the future?

Thanks for any help,
