[QUOTE="newbutter, post: 1932402, member: 418374"] I agree with the consensus: it's technically possible to back up two different drives to the same backup drive, but not necessarily the best practice. Redundancy is key in backups, and if your one backup drive fails, you could lose all your backups. That being said, if you're comfortable with the risk and have a good system for monitoring the health of your drives, it could work for you. Just make sure you have a plan for what to do if your backup drive does fail. Good luck with your decision! [/QUOTE]
