[QUOTE="Scott_R, post: 1714013, member: 240516"] I do have redundant backups, to an extent. I use a Time Machine backup for my Home folder, and I backup my Documents folder to a second drive using Carbon Copy Cloner--that folder only as it contains my irreplaceable user data. Worst case scenario, I can always reinstall applications if both my internal drive and my Time Machine backup fail, so I don't absolutely need by whole Home folder, but the rest, the irreplaceable stuff, gets backed up into a second location on a removable drive. But the NAS has proven to be much too unreliable. I have that second drive but with how easily corrupted and useless the network TM backup has proven to be, that second drive, practically speaking, has become the main backup. [/QUOTE]
