<p dir="ltr">Just a thought, but not counting the flash drive, what are the size of your disks? </p>
<p dir="ltr">I usually use a backup drive bigger than all my drives, that way I can keep older versions of my backups. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I do a daily rsync of my data files and then tar them to a single file.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Plus I make an fsarchiver copy of the OS drive.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This way if I mess something up and a backup happens before I realize it, I can get an older good copy.<br>
