I need to setup a backup job with two USB drives alternating each day. Is this possible to do with firestreamer? The customer wants just the 1 day offsite incase of disaster is all. I don't see a daily tape retention rate. Any help would be great.

Please see What is the best backup strategy for my environment?.

In short, Firestreamer is a mere tape library, and it's unaware of tape retention, backup frequency and so on. You can probably set up a daily backup in Microsoft DPM and change your tapes daily. There's no limit on it in Firestreamer.
