That "system" you use does so because you instructed it to do so. You have set your back-up protocol to use multiple drives. At some point, you had to designate where the back-ups were to be sent.
A protocol is a precise term.
What your describe and what I use is called configuration settings.You can call it whatever you want. You do configure your settings. What you are doing, though, is setting a protocol for future action.

What Tim is suggesting is that all images should be kept in one master file, not that this file is kept *only* on one drive. That one file can be backed-up on several drives. If you have a failure of one drive, you have that file on another (or several other) drives.
YouDontNeedToKnowButItsNoëlleI don't know who might have said that. Either that person said something that you interpreted as meaning "all on one drive" and they meant "all in one file", or that person misspoke.
This makes sense ; but someone described it as "keeping all your files on one drive" that is not the same.

His reasons are: For traveling, just plug the drive in another machine; If/when the computer crashes, just plug the drive into another machine; if/when the drive crashes, just plug the backup drive in your machine. With USB3 the external drives are almost as fast as an internal drive.
In my own experience, the power is the part that break the most easily in drives. External drives are good for mobility.
