As soon as I save the file to my Drive E, I have one level of redundancy. After I save it to my external box, I have 3 levels of redundant back-up. This makes me happy. The Drobo is doing quite well for me, though I haven't had a drive failure yet, so I haven't had to test it. My wife asked me why all of a sudden this was important to me, I never worried about it with film. I explained to her that negatives didn't spontaneously self destruct and take out every film in the file cabnet at the same time (I shot safety film, for the pendants among us). She gets it now, though she thinks that I could be leaving a beter legacy than what I take for pictures.....
