Hi Raven, Hard drives don't make good backup devices and here's why. A hard drive crash is most often catastrophic while with removable drives the data is more often stored on more than one disk ( should be, I've got at least four copies of my data ) there by lessening the impact of the loss of drive. I don't care about the drive, I care about my data. It's my opnion that whatever device your using can fail, the object of backing up is to secure your data and a hard drive isn't secure enough. To further protect my data I have backups sets in other locations. Regards Reseller
