WBadmin -addtarget issue with Hyper-V Server 2012

Hi there,

I'm currently running into an issue with Hyper-V Server 2012 and adding a new target to a scheduled backup.

All technet posts I've read do not provide a solution (and generally in Hyper-V 2008 it worked)

The issue I have is that it won't add new disks without having the others attached to the server, which is fine for servers with 2 - 4 backup disks, but some of our clients have 5 backup disks and only 4 usb ports on their servers.

I've tried running the -addtarget handle with and without quotations, and I'm not entirely sure of where to go next. All I get is a "system cannot find the path specified" error.

Commands I've tried, which logically are the same command:

wbadmin enable backup -addtarget:{DISKID}

wbadmin enable backup -addtarget:"{DISKID}"

It goes through the process of formatting and labeling the USB drive but doesn't actually attach it to the schedule.

Any help would be appreciated.
