how to backup/sync Multiple drives to one Massive drive
 
okay my mac pro has 2 drives... the Macintosh HD and Media HD. Can I backup and sync both of these volumes to one massive hard drive?

Example:
1 Massive hard drive with one folder called "Macintosh HD" and the other "Media HD"

When I try doing this.. the drop down menu doesn't allow me to destinate it to a folder. It seems like it only allows me to do full volume copies only.

Partition the massive drive into two volumes, one for each source...

is this pretty much the only way to handle it?

No, but it's the best way!

I'm also interested in backing up 2 drives to one massive drive. My Dad isn't too good with computers and if I can turn two commands into one, that would help him significantly.

I'm fine with splitting the huge external into two partitions if works best. Then I would need a one-click command* in Super Duper to back up both hard drives to both partitions. Is that possible? If not, can Applescript do it? Automator?

*ideally a command that can be configured for Maxtor's OneTouch Button

Well -- we only do one volume at a time. But you can set up two scripts as explained in the One Touch FAQ, and then write a separate script to run each, one after the other and set that to the button.
