Do you have it plugged in all the time or do you periodically do a full transfer?
I do weekly backups. However, if I modify or add something really important I create a backup right at that time
Makes sense, I'll have to start doing that.
One more question out of curiosity, how do you store the drive after?
I was thinking of getting a proper fireproof safe someday, but that might make it so I get lazy with the backups
Hehe thats what I do. I keep mine in a fireproof box inside a bolted down safe.
