You should be able to do it with just two directories. Point each of the backups at a different directory. The backup utilities I use never assume they have the whole drive to themselves. They always create a folder in the root directory to contain the backup. But maybe that is just a Mac thing. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
