How to handle rotating backup drives?
I use external 4TB hard drives for backups. I rotate them and have permanently assigned different drive letters. So what I've done with Acronis is create 2 basic backups then created clones of each for the different drives. Is this the best way? For example:
BU 1: backups just entire C-drive onto external disk A
BU2: backs up all documents only onto external disk A
BU3: Only used when swapping out disk A with disk B. backups entire C drive onto disk B
BU4: Only used when swapping out disk A with disk B. backus up all documents onto external disk B
I THINK this is the way to go but just want to check. Thank you!

Ditto - that seems sound.
However, just to check, when you say the entire C: drive, are you doing an entire disk/parition backup to get the entire hard drive or just the C: drive partition?
Checking for boot-ability in the event you need to restore to a different drive down the road...
