Anywhere Backup with 2 MyBooks in rotation

I have a customer who wants to use two MyBook Worlds connected via ethernet to do file storage and backups using Anywhere Backup, so they can have one drive on the network and the other off-site at all times. I can’t seem to find any info on how to do this, it it is even possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Can you be a little bit more specific? From what I understood it seems he wants to connect one drive and run backups on the computers connected to the network, and often rotate the drives, taking one to a safe place and updating the other one.

If that’s the case, he can do it normally. Just have him connect the My Book World to the router, map the drive on the computers, run backup and after some time rotate the drives and backup with the other drive doing the exact same thing.

Not entirely sure if he would encounter a limitation on the amount of computers he can backup with the same software, but that’s for him to test out I guess.

If this is not what you were referring to, please elaborate more on the question.
