I love Time Machine. It’s the best designed, most reliable backup program I’ve ever seen. However, it’s got one major problem: it only lets you maintain one backup at a time. You can switch disks if you want, but then you only have one up-to-date backup and I want at least two. (Backup drives fail too, sometimes at the same time the main disk fails.)

Has anyone figured out how to make two independent backups to two different disks? Note that I don’t want to keep manually switching between disks. I want Time Machine to keep two (better yet three) backups up-to-date at all times.

Bonus points if you can do it over the network.
