Robocopy to two destinations simultaneously?

Hi,

I'm trying to backup my files to two identical (2TB) hard drives. I want to make exact duplicates of the data down to time/date of creation etc, so I'm planning on using robocopy /copyall command. I want to copy the data to the two drives simultaneously, but I don't want to mirror the drives because I will be splitting the two drives - one for use and the other for archives.

Is there a command in robocopy to send the data to two destinations simultaneously? I couldn't find it. Also, I'm open to suggestions on other ways to do this.

Thanks!!
 
You could create two batch jobs with the appropriate robocopy commands and schedule each one individually. Just a thought.
 
You may also want to check out MirrorFolder. MirrorFolder is perfectly capable of synchronizing files to multiple destinations and it can do the synchronizations either on a schedule or in real time (synchronize whenever a file is written).

The only downside is is costs $39 while robocopy is free but a 30 day trial is available at http://www.techsoftpl.com/backup/
