The only problem with that is finding the newest copy. To simplify that I rotate drives using a fixed scheme. I either number the drives or label then with the day they are to be rotated.
Some clinics did this and even kept a log book noting which tape backup was used which day. Some even went one better and carried one backup off premises each day. Just in case. (All of these steps would be recommended to clients, but again can't make them do them.)
Even better to test your backups periodically. You don't want to discover that your backup stopped running and you have been going through the motions of rotating drives with old data or drives with no data. I have seen it!
That was recommended also. But note that it all depends on the chief component behind anything working, The nut behind the wheel.
