I purchased a second My Book. Is there a way to do the following backup scenario:

  Back my PC up to the original My Book
  Then back my original My Book up to my 2nd My Book

Yes, you can. Using WD SmartWare, under Backup Source on the Home tab you have to select the drive letter of the original My Book, and under Backup Target click on the picture of the second My Book, which will store the backup.

The new My Book is recognized and shows up as a drive to be backed up but does not show in the Target area to back files up to.
