Can't sync folder to two usb drives

Thread needs solution

I am trying to synchronise the same folder on my C drive to two USB-connected external hard drives (because I back up to two external drives locally).
The first sync works ok, but when I try to sync to the second hard drive, I get this message as soon as I have selected the folder on the second hard drive and pressed the sync button:
"The destination folder is already in use"
Event code 0x019A000C+0x019A000C.
When I try to check the event code on the Acronis knowledge base, there is no information about it.
Has anyone got any ideas what might be happening here?

You can only sync a folder once - daft yes I agree but Acronis does not recognise the fact that you have different disks connected. I assume you have them connected at the same time? The source and destination names can only be used once.

What I have not tried is having the destination USB disk have the same drive letter and configured folders and the plug in disk 1 let the sync complete, remove it and plug in disk 2 and see what happens. Try this on data you don't mind loosing as you may end up with no files on the source and disk 2 given ATIH sync is bi-directional so is a files is deleted on either end of a sync after the sync is run it will be gone at both ends.

Again another ill thought out design by Acronis.

Thanks RayG.
Yes it is a bit daft, but there we go - another cross we have to bear!
