Well, I'm fairly certain you can do backups to two different drives in
alternation. I haven't tried it yet, but my understanding is that the
Time Machine process uses the date of the newest backup it finds in the
"backups.backupdb" folder to tell it what needs to be backed up.
So if you had two backup drive, TM would see the time of each's last
backup and simply backup to each one everything that should be backed up.
