Q: 2 Time Capsules while traveling

I am using two different time capsules in two different locations to back up my Macbook Air when I travel between homes.  It has seemed to work well until today: I currently am in location A and the time capsule in location B has notified me that it cannot perform a backup due to a connection error.  Time Capsule in location A seemed to back up fine yesterday.  Should I remove Time Capsule B from the list of available disks when I am in location A?

MacBook (13-inch Mid 2009), iOS 9.3.5, Time Capsule

    When a Time Capsule (TC) is not currently available, Time Machine will eventually warn you that it has not made a backup after a certain number of attempts. When the TC becomes available, the backups will resume.

     

    I am assuming that you are just running Time Machine backups at each location and NOT attempting to perform remote backups to the other location.
