[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1947067, member: 396914"] You said in post #75: Now you are saying something different. So which is it? My comment was based on what you originally said. Also, I looked back over the thread and you have never said what the error message you are seeing is. What is it, exactly? When you first posted in #44, you said From the wording, you are saying that just like the OP, you are getting an error about TM not finishing. The OP said, in part Is that the message your are seeing, or is it something else altogether. If you have TM set to one backup a day, having two drives to alternate will NOT make two backups in one day, but alternate between days. So you get a backup, for example, to drive 1 on Monday, drive 2 on Tuesday, drive 1 again on Wednesday, and so on. Not two backups in one day to two drives. TM does not work that way at all. What you want is to make two backups on Monday, one to Drive 1 and one to Drive 2. TM won't do that. But tell us that error message so we can deal with that issue. [/QUOTE]
