How to create redundant Time Machine backups
Reader Jeremy Inglis revisits an old Time Machine question. He writes:
A few years ago you wrote about creating multiple Time Machine backups for a single Mac. You explained that you needed to manually choose the different volumes you’d use for backup. I too want multiple backups of my Mac’s data and was hoping the process was easier now.

Designate another volume as a second backup destination—a hard drive attached to your Mac or a network volume, for example. Launch System Preferences and then select Time Machine. Click the Select Disk button and you should see not only the volume you’re currently using for your backup but also any volumes available to you (that second destination you just added being one of them).
