Right now I am using this HDD to back up all my data:
Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136514
with this enclosure:
CY DOCK MB664US-1S Aluminum body w/ partial plastic 3.5" Pearl White USB2.0 & eSATA Screw-less External Enclosure
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817198015
Anyway, I hear about people re-backing up their data yearly.
Is having all my data backed up on one HDD a bad idea? I been using it for maybe about 2 years now. Right now I have about 1.5 TB of back up data. If I want to back up my back up, does that mean I have to have have another HDD that holds 1.5 TB of data, or is their some special way to do this dealing with image files and all of that?
Say if that HDD all the sudden messes up, and no data shows up when I am using it, is there a way to restore all that data?
