Hello,

This may be a silly question but I am new to FFS, I have just installed V.6.6.

I am looking for a solution to backup my drive to 2 different destinations, 2 different external drives for example. I would run the backup process twice, once to backup to drive A at home and the second time to backup to drive B in another location.

I tried it but the data got screwed, FFS probably got "confused". I may have missed some specific settings. Can this be done?

Thank you,

Chris

If the type of sync is the same (mirror, update or auto/bi-directional)
for the two destinations A and B, you should be able to use just a single sync,
defining a first, and a second Left/Right pair.

The first pair could be (L) source / (R) destination A
the second pair (L) source / (R) destination B

For this to work, destination A and B must be available simultaniously
during the sync.

I plan on doing something similar, but will create two configurations for each of the backups that I run independently. I prefer not doing the backups at the same time if possible, so I would have another untouched working recent copy should anything go wrong.
