Thanks Dave. Exactly my setup. For as long as they've been available I've had TM, online clone, and Arq to S3. Now I've added an offline clone. I'm just trying to automate that offline one, because lazy.

I think I found a solution though. I'll schedule my unlock/mount script(s) separately and have SD do the copy automatically upon attachment.

The only thing is that I've also got a couple external volumes that I'll probably now want to encrypt and detach their backups. So I'll be losing SD's simple scheduling ability completely.

Cheers
