I've read numerous articles about Windows Server Backup 2008 R2 and can't seem to get a clear answer to my question.  The question is simply this:  will the following scheme for backup work?

Scheme:  two external hard drives, on the first ext. HD backup @ 2:00 am when the server is on and everyone is gone; put the second ext. HD drive in a safe.  After the first backup succeeds, that morning change the ext. HD's and put the other drive in the safe and attach the second ext. HD to the server to backup the next morning at 2:00 am. After the second backup succeeds then swap the drives again. Repeat this swapping every morning.  As a further question, if the alternating the drives does work, can the swap interval be a week vs. each day?
