What is the best way to configre backups to a remote and a USB attached disk in the same config?

[goebbe]

Currently, I am looking for a good way to use the same config file for

• a backup to my NAS (that is scheduled to run regularly) AND
• a backup to a USB-disk, that I only attach from time to time.

With this setup, I face the following issue:

When the USB-disk is not attached / not mounted AND the scheduled backup is due,
there is a popup that proposes to initialize the (at this moment missing) USB repository.

Apparently vykar tries to get the information from the (un-mounted) USB-stick. Since the
repository is not mounted (the directory does not exist), vykar proposes to create initialize the repo.

Is there a way to prevent this type of behaviour?
What would be a good workaround?

Yes, absolutely possible. Just specify 2x repos. The backup will go to both.

About the case where one of them is missing: Let me research how we can elegantly solve it. Doesn't exist yet, but we'll get it done.

I tried to disable the scheduler for the USB-backup, since scheduled backups do not make
much sense like follows - but this did not work:
configuration error ... unkown field 'schedule'

repositories:
  - label: 'usb-home'
    url: /media/user/usbdir/vykar-home-repo
    schedule:
      enabled: false

  - label: 'NAS'
    url: 'sftp://user@192.168.0.5/backup/vykar_test_repo'

schedule:
  enabled: true
  every: '2h'

That's at least how I thought to configure two repositories.
Well from the error message it is clear, that I can currently not disable the scheduler for USB-home, like this.
Is there a different syntax that supports different scheduler per repository?

Not yet, but let me see how to best support this.

I'm also traveling for the next 2 weeks and updates will be slower. After that it will be quicker again.
