Please satisfy my curiosity. Why? With two drives you, at best,
have an automatic immediate backup (IMO). I personally prefer to
make backups on command. The immediate operation prevents you
going back more than one version, assuming the software makes that
version. There may be a slight speed advantage, but that effect
should be minor. Again, IMO.
