Two days after I make this goal, my world is impacted. At work I run two different raids, A RAID 5 with a hot spare, and a mirror of that RAID. That level of redundancy just saved my rear end.

I use CCC, Carbon Copy Cloner and it has never failed me. I have several LACIE drives and each one of them came with a licence for SilverKeeper , but I don’t trust automated backups. Silverkeeper has failed me.

My goal is to clone my computer once a month, and to manually copy data files once a month.
