Multiple Drives and Smart Update

Hello,

I'm running 10.5.1 and using the following backup scheme. I have an external WD 500 gig drive partitioned to 160gb (labeled "Bootable Backup") that SuperDuper! Smart Updates on, and the remainder of the space devoted (and labeled) "Time Machine".

I want to implement an off-site backup strategy, so I have a question. If I buy another drive, format it and give it the same lables ("Time Machine" and "Bootable Backup"), how will Smart Update work?

Example: On Friday, I backup to drive 1 and on Saturday, I remove drive 1 and plug in drive 2. The newest backup SuperDuper! performed was on Friday and drive one, but drive 2's newest backup is Thursday. Will SmartUpdate bring drive 2 up to date, or will it only make the changes it has seen since the last time it ran (which would be on drive 1)?

Thanks,
Chad

It's important to note that SD! doesn't track volumes by name, so we won't just resume on the new drive. But, once selected, we'll work fine -- the fact that the drives are in different 'states' isn't relevant, since we always check every file.

That was the fastest support request response I've ever gotten. Thanks! I figured that's how it worked, but I wasn't positive.

Thanks again!
