Correct. They run sequentially.

I don't know of any OS-6 apps that back up to external drives - just the built in backup jobs.

Re: backup to external disk
You might be confusing partitions and volumes.
You can back up multiple volumes to the same USB hard drive, but you need to use more than one backup job to do it.

thanks for the answer. two backup tasks simultaneously will heavily burden the system. if you perform the first task first and then the second, it is unclear when the first one will end. can there be any program for this?

Re: backup to external disk
They shouldn't run simultaneously, the backup manager will queue them.
If you are running them manually, you can just wait for the first one to start, and then start the second one. If they are scheduled, you can adjust the scheduled start time for the second job by a couple of minutes.
