As part of a K.I.S.S backup strategy I want to create a mirror backup task
I'm taking multiple directories from the root of my NAS to one drive, then other directories to another etc till I've backuped the NAS
(I know this isn't efficient or ideal or whatever, but it it is simple, if I need a file out of directory X, all I have to do is go to the drive with directory X and get the file)
So I have multiple directories going to effectively one root target
I tried drag'n'drop for the multiple folders into the relative path (left) but it only let me add one (it put the other in right
I added blank sections and tried again - same
As to the right hand side is there an easy way to set it to have a common root?
Also is there an easy way to change q: -> backup drive 1 on multiple entries

I'd checked and it said to ask/post here for issues or suggestions

The way Drag & Drop works now seems pretty useless to me.
If I select a folder, it does its job and places it where I drop it.
If I select multiple folders, it only considers the first two and places one on one side and one on the other, depending on where I Drop it.
But it's unlikely that a source folder and a destination folder can be selected simultaneously for a Drag & Drop operation, because they're almost certainly on different drives.
I would find useful to be able to select multiple source folders and, with Drag & Drop on the left (or right) side, ensure all the necessary lines are inserted and filled in on the same side.
