...If you have important stuff stored on those flash and hard drives, it would be a very very good idea to back all of it up on another hard drive. You never know when something doesn't feel like doing it's job anymore no matter how overall reliable.

I am trying to avoid the back-up for the back-up, to The Back-Up, if you get my drift,

.
I have basically mirror image data of all my important/interesting/good stuff on a desk top here in NC,
a desk top in FL, and on our lap top. And, the flash drives allow "movement", and the lil'Toshiba portable keeps a load of docs, photos, info, too.
I have avoided the big external hard drive for each of our 3 computers, thus far. I'm "backed-up" and not sure how much more I need to be backed-up.
If I can't rescue docs&photos from one of my several sources, it's probably the end of the world anyway and I won't care.
The Kidz have the "keys" to the financials, and that's what they really care about.
