Thanks guys. Unfortunately, I have found out that a VM doesn't work that
way, and I now have two things to figure out. How to get the single drive
working, and what is the procedure to add a 2nd drive to the box, and how to
retate them around without messing up the Backup operations.

You probably ought to have at least 3 external USB drives so you can ensure
that 1 is off site at any time. My worse case scenario is a fire which
destroys the office including last night's backup and the backup I was about
to swap it for. So you don't want to be caught with only two drives and risk
having them both lost.

Otherwise, agreed, I too use this type of scenario and it works really well.
