I have the dropbox set as my primary drive to work on legacy - as such any time i save anything I save it to dropbox. However, my legacy backup got to my hard drive - and i also move a copy to "drive" right now. So if I am without internet access I load the backup - the next time i get online, dropbox picks up the changes. Using the system, I can remain current with my file on any computer - and still know that I have a backup stored somewhere else.
As the victim of some flooding a couple of years ago - I will never trust an external drive as backup unless i were driving it offsite every night. This system seems to preclude those problems.
