I also have Time Machine configured to use two [network attached]
backup devices. I allow the TM to produce backups at its own pace,
not forced to a rigid schedule by some third party app. The tabs on the
right of the TM screen show the correct times, properly interspersed
as one would expect.

If one of my devices is slower than the other (another computer
backing up to it) the tabs on the right of the TM screen are magenta
for the faster responding device and the other stay white until the
second device responds.
