# Copy
Instead of specifying multiple `to` backends for a given `location` you can also use the `copy` option. Instead of recalculating the backup multiple times, you can copy the freshly copied snapshot from one backend to the other, avoiding recomputation.
###### Example
```yaml | .autorestic.yml
locations:
my-location:
from: /data
to:
- a #Fast
- b #Fast
- c #Slow
```
Becomes
```yaml | .autorestic.yml
locations:
my-location:
from: /data
to:
- a
- b
copy:
a:
- c
```
Instead of backing up to each backend separately, you can choose that the snapshot created to `a` will be copied over to `c`, avoiding heavy computation on `c`.
