If only one drive fails, you can be back in business, using your computer, in a matter of minutes instead of spending days rebuilding your system from scratch.
Now, what if both drives fail on you at the same time. It could happen. Let’s say your office was damaged by fire and your computer was destroyed. You’ve lost not only your hard drive, but the backup images you had stored on the other hard drives. The solution to this is to save your condensed backup images on some sort of removable media that can inexpensively be stored away from your computer. I’d recommend that you use a CD-R/RW to do this. The blank CDs are very inexpensive to create. It will still take you a while to make these image CDs, but you only need to do this each quarter since the risk of loosing both hard drives is relatively low. Drive Image comes with an Image File Editor that will help you break your images into segments that will fit on one or more blank CDs.
Using a backup plan such as this, your entire hard drive will be protected against a total system failure.
