For backup and safety, there are two sides to the coin:
Mirroring is nice and automatic and one never forgets to do it.
If a folder is deleted by mistake it is gone on both drives.  If it is not
noticed at once and recovered, it will be gone forever.

I use "Beyond Compare" to match external backup drives and it warns and shows
any detected differences so I can verify what shall be done.  See:
