David, only my one back up, older model, and my time machine, newer model
show up. I have to disconnect the second back up from the computer, then
plug it back in for the sidebar to show the drive, if the computer se=leeps
only 7A shows up but not 7 so i have to unplug and replug. as mentioned it
may be older drives or older formatting

This may have been mentioned already, but if you run Disk Utility (it's in 
Applications / Utilities) do they appear in the sidebar? If greyed out you can 
right-click on them and select "mount".  I do this with my external SSD as I 
like to leave it plugged in but not mounted unless I'm actually using it.  My 
Time Machine drives are always physically disconnected when I'm not using them.

Cheers,
Dave
