I don't understand why it doesn't make sense. (Full disclosure - I |
16 |
keep backups for both Windows and Linux on the same pair of drives.) |

In my case I have two external drives. I do my backups and when they |
19 |
are complete I move the images for both Windows and Gentoo to the same |
20 |
drive. The next week I swap and use the second drive doing the same |
21 |
thing. If one drive fails I have the second backup drive. Both drives |
22 |
have Windows and Gentoo backups. Why is it a problem? |
