I don't understand why it doesn't make sense. (Full disclosure - I
keep backups for both Windows and Linux on the same pair of drives.)

In my case I have two external drives. I do my backups and when they
are complete I move the images for both Windows and Gentoo to the same
drive. The next week I swap and use the second drive doing the same
thing. If one drive fails I have the second backup drive. Both drives
have Windows and Gentoo backups. Why is it a problem?
