Yes, keeping stuff separate makes sense. Lately I have been putting the OS on a SSD to speed things up and the data on a hard drive (preferably 7200 RPM). Backups are to a NAS, with selected 'very important to me' files on an external hard drive so I can grab-and-go if necessary. The backups are in whatever condensed format it is using; the selected files are plain- text copies. (Wrong term, but not condensed -- are xcopy/rsync.) ¯ ® ¯ BarryMartin3@MyMetronet.NET ® ¯ ® .... 3 blonds walk into a bar.
