I meant to say you should always have 2 copies of your important data regardless of the technology worked. A friend of mine put all his photos on his external hdd only. He thought he was doing backup. No need to tell you the reminder of the story

At work, we backup to SAN (which is fully redundant), then to a backup SAN (which is also fully redundant), and then to tapes. Funny enough, when it comes to restore, we always have issues. We joke that we are just the backup department, the restore department is elsewhere
