Dave,
I'm definitely backing up with SD - I love it! But, I saw something in a post on this forum about backing up the backup!!! I guess, in case the external with the SD backup dies! One can be totally ridiculous with backups, but maybe having a spare backup of my backup drive (sounds silly) might not be a bad idea???
Since both my SD backup and my Sandbox backup are on the external LaCie 500 FW, if I did lose that, I wouldn't have any backup other than what TM does on my iMac.
????
Sorry to confuse things,
