Two disks, two enclosures, two power supplies is far better than a dual bay RAID box, for backup purposes.

Alternating backups is an ideal plan but most people want, and NEED, something to happen automatically or it wont get done. In the perfect world, I agree totally but I think that a simpler solution gets more accomplished than the one that is more work, more times than not.
I guess you could still set up a scheduled backup to 2 separate drives, but that would require software that supports that, (or 2 separate backup programs)
