Harddisks have a bad reputation too. They fail regulary. Anyway, I would not feel comfortable about backing up data residing on a harddisk to another harddisk. I believe that a backup media has to provide different characteristics than the original media. An incident that harms original should not harm the backup. What about if a firmware bug destroys all data on day XXX on all harddisks ? Well, extra paranoid maybe and of course I have not thought of all possible things that *could* happen. -- Kind Regards, Markus Falb
