[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1579636, member: 38864"] Yeah, but even that's not foolproof. That "just" checks the integrity of the file system, not for failing physical sectors, right? Although... I do suppose if a drive is "slowly" failing, then that would be evident when "verify disk" fails often enough. Yeah, more or less the same here, though my secondary backups aren't done quite that often. My Time Capsule finally bit the dust last week (drive is probably ok, need to pull it still), and I was crossing my fingers hoping the internal drive wasn't going to follow before the secondary was updated. :Oops: [/QUOTE]
