I have found that having 2 internal back up drives and 1 external drive gives me the safety and redundancy I need. One internal backup drive can mess up on a drive about ready to fail, and you won't catch the failing fat clusters until the 2nd pass, but its too late then, if you had only 1 drive. Experience taught me 2 drives would suffice and always use an external hard drive. In mid-January I didn't back up a key area, because I was working constantly in it, and a makefile cleaned everything including several weeks of hard math and compiler work, so I was forced to recreate everything from scratch, very painful experience.
