Can you not get acronis to make a first copy from C to X, and then a second
copy from X to Z? Granted, it isn't simultaneous, but it gets the job done,
no?

Subject: [OM] Setting up photo storage on 2+ hard drives
I am trying to figure out the best and easiest way to back up my photos.
I just picked up a 1tb HD and have it in an eSATA remote enclosure. When
it's powered up it looks just like any other HD on the system. So far I've
just been copying the files from one of the internal drives to it every
once in a while. I also have another remote drive that I use for regular
backups. (6 total drives) What I'd like to do is to automatically copy the
photo files to two drives at the same time in a way that doesn't compromise
the archived files. Maybe some type of RAID array? However I have no
experience setting up a RAID array but understand that there are safe
options. A RAID set up would require another HD purchase as the 250gb drives
are nearly full. See Newegg sale below.
So maybe there is a software solution? I'm using Acronis v9 but I don't see
an option for making double copies.
So what do you all do? Recommend? Using XP home edition. (Yes, I realize a
Mac will do this while also making coffee and washing dishes)
