[QUOTE="chemist, post: 1658328, member: 84235"] So one TM instance would be on my desktop EHD, and the other would be on the portable EHD I store at the bank (actually, I have two portables, for easy swapping, but that doesn't change anything). But the question is: how should I do the second instance, on the one I keep at the bank? When I bring it back from the bank to update it, and run TM, isn't it going to miss all the history that's on the primary instance? That's why I thought it might make more sense to just copy the TM backup folder from the desktop EHD to the portable EHD when I brought it home for updating. And it seems easier to me to just drag and drop a folder than to do a new TM backup (assuming that's all I need to do). [/QUOTE]
