Multiple Backup Destinations #4
Description
Time machine allows for adding multiple drives for backups, it then writes backups to those drives in a round robin. I was trying to understand which drive would be affected by your scripts, or would all of them be? Would it be possible to add options to select a particular drive, or all drives?

Hi @stevefeinstein, it's a valid concern.
The script currently gets the enumeration of backups no matter which drive they come from. I think, but I should verify it, that the macOS interface I'm using only enumerates currently available backup. That is: if a backup sits in a drive which is not connected, then it's not listed, and it's not taken into account in any way.
I'm considering adding support for multiple destinations to this script.
