I have two switches and two islands but both Switches share one Nintendo account. Am I able to back up my new island without overwriting the backup for my first island?

The new island is currently on the secondary console but I’m thinking of making this console my primary console. I don’t know if that will affect things?

Also in case it’s relevant, the first island I restored from a broken Switch lite way back in the days when backups had just come out.

Really confused as to whether I can back up my newer island or not and if so, how please? When I used the backup feature before it was in the early days where not all features were released and I had to speak to Nintendo to get the backup restored to my new console… no idea how it works now!

Would really appreciate any help, please and thank you!!
 
Someone must know - hopefully at least! Otherwise I’ll email Nintendo, just commenting In case maybe I originally posted this at a bad time and got skimmed over and not seen! Would hugely appreciate any help as I’m putting off backing up my new island because of this but it makes me anxious not having it backed up, especially as I’ve needed the feature in the past!!

Please and thank you :)
