Do the first backup on disc 1 and copy it to disc 2. Then take disc 1
to the bank. Next time put copies of the backup on discs 2 and 3. Take
disc 2 to the bank and bring disc one back. If both backups are in the
building when it burns to the ground, they'll be as useful as all that
healthy eating and exercise the people in New York did on September 10.
