But are you making a backup of the backup ?
Sorry about the TLAs.....Three Letter Acronyms.
Perhaps even more important are you keeping a backup elsewhere. A fire or burglary could cause the loss of your data. I have my important stuff on HD's (Hard Drives) at two other locations.
If you have the drives connected all the time and there were a lightning strike nearby that could destroy the data too. I lost a computer and HD that way, a Mac plus, back in about '93 I think. I got paid out on the computer by the insurance but nothing for the data. Most of it was on floppies then, so they were OK.
