Good catch, I'm not currently performing backups (although I know I
should). The one time a hard drive did start to fail it was caught
pretty quickly by me and I acted quick enough to be able to resuce my
data before the drive completely stopped working. However I know that
I may not always be this lucky and as such my next purchase will be a
external IDE enclosure... :)
