Tom, Can you elaborate? I get that a HD failure will make back ups on it mute, but I am now backing up onto an external drive. Is the idea that if I also back up on the HD, I will then have 2 copies in case one or the other drives fail?
No idea what RAID is, and almost afraid to ask or want to know if I need to know about this, yet another thing to ponder and maybe spend money on.
