tmutil setdestination to Multiple Destinations

Question

Has anyone been able to write a script using tmutil to set more than one destination?

For example I would like to set either two network destinations or a single network destination and a local HD.

I've got this script running for a single destination, but when I try and modify it to set multiple destinations things don't work.

If I try two scripts one will simply overwrite the other.

Is setting multiple destinations even possible with the current tmutil?

#!/bin/sh

TimeMachineDestination=&#034;afp://username:password@server.pretendco.com/Backups&#034;

echo &#034;Setting Time Machine Destination&#034;

/usr/bin/tmutil setdestination $TimeMachineDestination

echo &#034;Enabling Time Machine&#034;

/usr/bin/tmutil enable

exit 0

Try the -a flag to set the 2nd destination.#!/bin/shTimeMachineDestination1=&#034;afp://username:password@server1.pretendco.com/Backups&#034;TimeMachineDestination2=&#034;afp://username:password@server2.pretendco.com/Backups&#034;echo &#034;Setting Time Machine Destination&#034;/usr/bin/tmutil setdestination $TimeMachineDestination1/usr/bin/tmutil setdestination -a $TimeMachineDestination2echo &#034;Enabling Time Machine&#034;/usr/bin/tmutil enableexit 0

Major edit:Ugh it helps if one uses the -a argument in the right place. ;-)
