Most power problems, etc, do not take out the drive, so taking out both is
extremely rare.. But how much info do you really need to backup? I put my
Excel and .doc and quickbooks data on a CD each month. Most of the stuff,
is rebuildable or not really needed. And how long you going to take to
backup your system? Using a 2nd drive and xcopy and you can boot in
minutes. You running a business, depending on the data, then get a raid
system and large removable drives. And keep them offsite.

Put a 2nd as big disk in and just back up to it.

Full backup once a week, incrementals every night.



That's about the weakest form of "backup" there is. It's almost not even
worth
doing. Most things that cause data loss would cause loss of your backup
drive as
well. Virus? Power surge? Fire? Theft? File corruption? It's not really a
backup
if it is part of the computer. Backups, to be effective data protection,
need to
be on removable media, and stored offsite.
