[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1604683, member: 46727"] I'm not sure it will work quite the way you want but... you can use two external drives for backup with Time Machine (that part is easy). But to direct certain things to one drive and other things to the other drive may take some work. You could for example exclude what you don't want to backup to the first drive. Make the backup and then go back and change the configuration of Time Machine to exclude what you don't want backed up to the second drive and make the backup to it. It would mean a lot of work going back and forth changing the Time Machine configuration for exclusion - inclusion. There may be an easier way but at the moment I can't think of one. Perhaps someone else can come up with an idea you can use. [/QUOTE]
