[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1030601, member: 56231"] Welcome to Mac-Forums! You must excuse Nick's quirky sense of humour ;). [size=1]I'm just working through the issue of backing up what I consider important, from my eMac to an external firewire drive. From what I can see, the first attempt has been successful.[/size] All that is by way of saying that it's a simple matter to backup valued material to more than one drive, but I don't think you can do it simultaneously. [size=1]I use an application called iBackup, because I'm stuck in the Tiger time warp, but I simply schedule the day and time I want the job done - and it does it! My main problem is remembering to switch on the external hard drive![/size] If I wanted to backup my backup to another hard drive, I think I'd have to do it manually. It wouldn't be difficult or laborious if I had more than one external drive [B]daisy-chained via firewire enclosures[/B], it'd be a simple drag-and-drop operation. [/QUOTE]
