This article first appeared at the Mimecast Engineering Blog but I made it available here in my personal Gemini capsule too.

I enhanced the procedure a bit. From now on I am having two external 2TB USB hard drives. Both are setup exactly the same way. To decrease the probability that they will not fail at about the same time both drives are of different brands. One drive is kept at the secret location. The other one is kept at home right next to my HP MicroServer.

When it comes to data storage and potential data loss I am a paranoid person. It is not just due to my job but also due to a personal experience I encountered over 10 years ago: A single drive failure and loss of all my data (pictures, music, ....).
