I use it for FF, but they seem to host it on a biscuit tin running windows 95. The stats pages keep crapping out. Can't see any obvious way to import data either

Expensive? Well...

I don't think you need to daisy 'em, it just saves on cables and ports. Try checking the exclusion list under TM Preferences > Options... - your TM drive should be there, but not the other external drive. Remove it from the list if it is or it won't back up. You won't need a new backup set, it...

Time Machine just, er, does it, really. OS X only though, alas. I have the two drives daisy-chained via FW800 into my laptop and TM runs an incremental backup every hour or so.

I don't have one, but I'm considering it for the future. I think you can run the Drobo with just two drives. I have two external harddrives - one as an archive, holding old projects, client work and files too hefty for my laptop drive; then a second one as pure backup and nothing else, running...
