heres says http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd851514.aspx

identify location storing backups. (for more information choosing storage location, see backing server.) make sure hard disks storing backups attached , online. best practice, if use external hard disk, choose 1 supports either usb 2.0 or ieee 1394. recommend disk have @ least 2.5 times storage capacity of set of items want up. if dedicated disk storing backups, should either empty or contain data not need keep because windows server backup format , clean disk part of preparing backup.


hi,

first time windows format external storage , configures backup. consequent backups, if choose same drive contains previous backup backup target, server backup wizard allows keep previous backups. if wish keep backups, backup wizard not format drive. 

can view below link explains same in detail
