Automated Course Backups, 2 backups or 1 ?

Automated Course Backups, 2 backups or 1 ?

Automated course backups have a setting for 'Automated backup storage' as follows:

'Course backup filearea'

'Specified directory for automated backups'

'Course backup filearea and the specified directory'

The second option makes 1 course backup and the third options appears to create 2 course backups in separate locations?

I just wanted to confirm whether the 3rd option really did make 2 separate backups, or is it still 1 but the Course backup file area now points to the 'specified directory' backup file? We currently use option 3 but it seems kind of redundant (but convenient) to have 2 copies.
