    Heh, backups. You can tell I lost a drive and a lot of info before by my backup plan.

    1. Box has 2 main drives for O/S and stuff that won't move off of C:, these are mirrored SD drives.

    2. All other data is on mirrored conventional spinning platter drives.

    3. 2TB External drive stores a back up of the internal drives. Once a week the entire drive set is completely backed up, each evening a differential backup is performed.

    4. Off site Cloud backup on Backblaze.

    5. Once a month I gzip the entire content of the data drives. Then upload to the M/A server for safekeeping. The M/A server is backed up off site hourly.

    Yeah, I'm paranoid about losing years of data.
