Hello,
I am thinking about buying a HD for a full system backup and all files. I am worried about getting such a big HD and having it fail, thus loosing years of data. Is there any redundancy in a 1TB drive does partitioning help? What if the entire drive fails or are there multiple drives in those external hd? I need a reliable backup system for music, photos of child, that will last years.
any advice would be appreciated and also
I want to be able to use the HD with both formats, pc and mac...what should I format with or is that a good idea?
thank you
