On each Saturday morning at 2a.m. Syncback comes on and backs up everything to an external drive. Then on the following morning it backs everything up to a second HD. Once every couple of weeks I do another backup manually to a third drive. The third drive is stored away (it is the one that will fail of course) in case of burglars, power spike and such. I need to look into online backup as a fail-safe. It is bothersome that all of this is trivial compared to what we do at the firm for backup ($$$$) where we are supposed to be OK except maybe for an EMP attack, in which case there will probably be other priorities.
