I have found that having 2 internal back up drives and 1 external drive 
gives me the safety and redundancy I need.  One internal backup drive 
can mess up on a drive about ready to fail, and you won't catch the 
failing fat clusters until the 2nd pass, but its too late then, if you 
had only 1 drive.  Experience taught me 2 drives would suffice and 
always use an external hard drive.

In mid-January I didn't back up a key area, because I was working 
constantly in it, and a makefile cleaned everything including several 
weeks of hard math and compiler work, so I was forced to recreate 
everything from scratch, very painful experience.
