    Hi guys,

    Due to my paranoia at losing data, I have a USB drive running time machine constantly backing up. I've just bought a network drive to put in the attic (in case of burglary & they take the USB drive).

    Is it possible to use time Machine concurrently on two separate drives ? Essentially it's be two separate backup jobs.

    No, TM can only backup to one hard drive at a time.

    How about you just use the attic drive?

    The USB drive is incase of fire - grab & go

    The attic drive is in case of burglary.

    Guess I'll have to find another solution :(
