Alternate Local Backup Disks

Can a computer back up to 2 different USB external disks? We have a computer that does not have a suitable internet connection to permit backing up to the cloud. We need to back up some days to USB-External-Disk-A some days and to USB-External-Disk-B. Is this feasible? Will this cause any problems?

Please refer to this article about drive rotation. https://www.msp360.com/resources/blog/how-to-use-rotating-drives-strategy/

Thank you David! I think that I noticed a note that said that an improvement was to come out in 2019 to make management yet easier. Do you know if this was in fact developed and rolled out?

I was hoping you were not going to see that :-)

We are working on some backup format changes that may make this process easier. But it was not released in 2019 - but it's coming soon-ish.

Thank you.
