Parallels

[David Herren]

I do the same, except that I have two separate external disks and  
neither is a cheapo anymore (my wife got the cheapo).

I admit to being anal about this, but the last serious problem I had  
with my laptop, when I was having serious corruption and failures on  
the internal drive, my "cheapo" external on which I had backups and a  
cloned system, ALSO failed coincidentally while attempting to restore.
