I have a Mac Pro which will have two main drives: an SSD for OSX/apps, and a regular hard drive for my user area.
In addition I will have two extra hard drives for automated backups: one for Time Machine and another one for cloned backups. The question is how to set this up and if I can back up both drives (SSD and user-area drive) on to either the Time Machine or clone backup drive, or ideally both?

I have a registered copy of Chronosync (I use it regularly for backing up external file-storage drives to other external backup drives) but haven't tried to use it for system cloning: will it do that, or do I need to use (and ultimately pay US$ 40) for an additional software (Carbon Copy Cloner)?
