[Elecraft] OT - backup software

[Bill]

I run Windows 10 and Linux Mint. I back up data daily to a USB-3 fast 
thumb drive (by simple copying of specific directories). Once a week I 
clone the drive to a spare drive. Then I use the cloned TO drive and 
place the cloned FROM drive in my safe. I have three drives rotating 
clone service. This prevents errors in the cloning process (I have never 
had a problem).

I use a device (from StarTech) and not software. My hard drive lives in 
a plug-in bay on the computer (accessible from outside the case).

Had many failures using software - no failures cloning.
