Im using URBackup for a few computers.
once in a few days, l want to change the backup hard disk (Drive D - with the URBACKUP folder)
to backup everything on another hard disk for redundancy - if the connected hard drive fails or infected, l always have the other one (thats not connected), not 100% up to date but at least l’ll have most of the data. tried that with just swapping the drives but it was full of bugs.
any solutions?
You could try multiple urbackup servers each with their own disk. Do a search on the forums.

Thank you and its a good idea, but it will be much easier with only different hard drives.
not only because its not another computer and stuff, but more because its more “protected”. instead of having my 2 hard drives running and “vulnerable” to anything like ransomware or anything, I always “hold” one hard drive with the data separated and disconnected for safety.
btw, what l do now, is once in a few days, l disable the inteternet, and CLONE the data disks, so l have a backup of a backup. its great and safe but takes long time and complicated
Only way you’ll make something like that work is to set up a RAID mirror, which you break & swap the second drive with from time to time, so you have the old mirror copy.
Which will work, but probably less reliably than setting up RAID for redundancy & just leaving it alone to be a redundant array.
If you alternated which machine you switch on it would be functionally the same as your current set up. It is more effort to setup though.
