Just wondering. My friend does. I wonder if I should do that too.

Thank you in advance.


Nope. I backup all LAN drives daily to three internal drives and to
seven external drives rotated once per week. That should catch all old
and new drive failures.


Count me in the "Nope" group, as well. I see no need to do anything
other than simply use a new drive.
