What means keep both back ups?

What means keep both ? I have bought a new TimeCapsule, I have always back up my computer to a Time Capsule T3 (still operational). When I installed the new TimeCapsule T3, the setup asked do you want to use both ( the old and the new) TimeCapsule T3. How does this work. Does it back up to the old and then to the new, does is make back ups simultaniasly? Who knows how to deal with this? Please let me know.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.6), Time Capsule

Time Machine will create a new backup on your new TC, and it will if you choose both, keep both backups updated sequentially.. as long as both are online.. in other words.. first incremental backup after you create the new backup will be the old TC.. next one to the new TC and so forth.

For all your TM questions.
