I've already got the two CCC clones, but two TM backups ??? Isn't that overkill, and/or how do you set up TM to use two different drives?
Set up the second drive as you would the 1st in the Time Machine prefs.
It will prompt you asking whether to replace the 1st drive or keep both.
With 2 backup drives/destinations, if both are attached/available throughout the day then it will alternate between them. Instead of backing up to drive #1 every hour or so it will back up to drive #1 after an hour and then drive #2 on the next hour.
If you were inclined to do so, you could set up both a local backup to a directly-attached external hard drive and a network-backup to a drive tied to a desktop-Mac.
