Mirror drive backup how to?

Thread needs solution

I have 2 external drives that I want to mirror each other - I backup to one of the drives and I want my other external drive to mirror it - so i have 2 external drives that have the same backup info on them form my main system hard drive.
I'm using Home 2010 version and was wondering if anyone has tips on how to do this this easiest way.
Thanks!

SAM,

If you want to mirror backup drives, I would either use some sync software that verifies the copies bit by bit, or I would simply run 2 backup tasks on each drive. It is good to have backup redundancy; it is better to backup on disks in different locations and even better to use different backup technologies to achieve this.

I wouldn't go down the path of cloning the drive: repeating your backup is faster.
