Sorry I wasn’t clear: what I meant was I want to back up 2 different drives in a single TM backup file. In other words, I’m trying to avoid making a separate TM backup for each drive.
I don't think that's possible, since the two drives could have conflicting folder names and such.

That's why I suggested renaming one of the drives. It's the absolute path that counts.
