especially since my main disk drive has no plans to
crash!

Aargh!!!!! Don't EVER say such things. You'll be struck with nemesis!

Seriously, ALL disk drives fail eventually. I've personally experienced two
disk drives spontaneously fail. Data is lost forever. It happens to
everyone. It will happen to you. And sooner than you think.

So: Always keep your backups on a *separate* disk drive.
