Suggestion:

Change the drive letter of your second external device to S (or preferred l=
etter). Then...

- When device R is connected, synch C:\ <--> R:\
- When device S is connected, synch C:\ <--> S:\

This is a star topology, where C: is the master or hub.

Scott

I would agree. And on that topic it's worth to point out that unisons
default behavior is a bidirectional sync "c:\ <-> r:\". Any deletes on
r: it will try to synchronize back to c:. When replacing r: with a
completely fresh drive, it would be good delete the unison archive
files for both roots. Otherwise the "confirmbigdeletes" option which
is enabled by default, should warn the user. The manual has more on
all those topics.
