Dan,

In BE10, click on Job Setup then double click your nightly job.  Click on
Schedule and then the Edit Schedule Details button.  Under Run Day Options,
click on Week Days.  Remove the check marks from the days you don't want the
backup to run.

As an aside, I have not had real good luck with the Iomega REV 35 drives as
a reliable backup media for servers.  (although it sounded like a great idea
when I first heard about the drive)  Are you running this as a
backup-to-disk or is it configured as a 'tape drive'?
