[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1290065, member: 181804"] Also remember that having your data in one location, even if it's a "backup" drive is not a backup. It's external storage. Your data is still stored on a single point of failure. A backup is designed to spread the risk out over multiple points of failure with the assumption that not all of them are going to fail simultaneously. [/QUOTE]
