Still, it is once again, it’s a reminder how important backups are. 🙂
Oh, yes, I do a daily incremental backup of all of my data. Music currently once place – have to get nother harddisc – only but the important other personal and work files are backed up on two drive. And I regulary check all harddrives using Apple First Aid. After two years already is fast… I haven’t had that yet – knock on wood – and I am generally using Western Digital for 20 years ( not the same disc of course but surey for more that 2 years 😉 – as well.
Just last year I thought a drive just broke from one second to the other. But gladly in the end it was just an USB hub I connecteed another devices that somehow had kicked it out completely. Only after a restart it showed up again and workss flawlessy since then.
