And, do any of you ever check the backups to make sure they really have anything there?  In the olden days of reel-to-reel tapes, the number of backup tapes in the library that were actually blank often exceeded the number of valid tapes in the library.  Lots of scrambling when you needed that tape.

The tool I use for this third method of data protection is a command

My regular backup program is NovaBACKUP PC from NovaStor.  It is a
commercial program that I have been using for many years on all my
computers, making a daily incremental backup  and a weekly full backup
using external drives for storage of the compressed files.  It has a GUI
that permits restoration (both overwrite and write elsewhere) of files
and folders.  It has saved my backsplash several times in the recent
past.    There is a linux version called NovaBACKUP Data Center that is
distro-independent.  (No, I don't own stock in NovaStor.)
