-- Redundancy
-- Backups
-- Security

All important, all almost the same, yet all different. Redundancy is no substitute for backups, and as you allude to, backups are no substitute for redundancy.

The weakest link here is human error. I can't help but thinking of how awhile ago I sat in front of a computer at that simple, yet critical moment where you are about to install Windows, and there is the screen where you create your partitions. I meant to delete, create and format the second drive, but I chose the first thereby losing all of my data. Thankfully, this was personal data. Irreplaceable, yes, but critical, no.

You will have to give me the link to the "dissertation." I can't remember where that is. smile
