Were you burned by having backed up to an *internal* HD? As far as I'm
concerned, that's better than no backup at all, but just barely.


I have never backed up to an /internal/ HDD, where I've been burned aplenty
by backing up to strange media (e.g., ZIP drives of the past) and to
removable media (e.g., USB sticks and USB drives) which tend to corrupt
themselves on Windows if you simply look at them askance.



If you say so. But I've done this on multiple computers in many
versions of Windows for many years, and I've never had a single
problem with my backups. If you have, I think it's very likely that
the reason is that you're doing something very much wrong.
