Assigning Drive As A Backup Drive

$

Hello all.

 

I am fairly new to WHS 2011, and I am having an issue with backing up my server, client computers, and data files.

 

I have a iTB internal drive used for WHS2011.  I have to two 3TB eSATA drives hooked up off of a 4 bay enclosure and two external USB drives.

 

I installed WHS 2011 successfully and all the drives show up correctly.  The problem is probably an easy fix, but I cannot find it.  Every time I try to do any kind of backup, it says that it cannot find any drives that can be used as a backup drive.  I was wanting to use the two 3TB eSATA drives for backup duties.  If I understand it correctly, I just need to assign them as backup drives.  If that is the case, how do I do that.  It is probably something very easy to do, but being the newb that I am, I could use some help.

 

I looked online for some info, but the only thing I saw useful was assigning a drive as backup  during an Add New Drive Wizard, but the two eSATA drives are loaded up during boot-up, so I don't have that option.

 

I am mainly wanting to backup the two external USB drives because they hold all of my movies, music, and data files I have, but backing up one of my two client computers and the server itself is also something I am looking into to doing also.

 

Any help will be appreciated, 

Philip Earle
