Run two jobs on same data set

Thread needs solution

I'm thinking of this:

(This is an extra layer in addition to other backups already in place).

Job 1 and Job 2, both differential backup, have the same source (a set of folders and files)
Job 1 has destination USB HD#1
Job 2 has destination USB HD#2

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, run Job 1
On the other days, run Job 2

On the days when not being used, USB HD#1 or #2 will be switched off. So there will always be a completely offline backup no more than two days old (the Saturday / Sunday case).

Seems like, since Acronis just looks at file sizes and update dates (instead of the file system archive bit), the two jobs will not be aware of each other, and so not conflict.

Will that work, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

That should work. 2 different tasks for 2 different destinations.
