The backup drive is a 1TB external USB and my computer is getting a little long in the tooth and the BIOS won't boot if I power on with it connected. So I get lazy and don't always plug it in and restart the backuppc service. What has changed is that I'm being more diligent in making my backups and perhaps more significantly, I have recently upgraded from F9 to F10.
