And you folks have been extremely resourceful in answering them before.... Is a backup drive the same thing as an external hard drive?

Do any of you clone your hard drive or SSD rather than (or in addition to) backing up in the normal sense? Pros, cons?

Using an external drive for backup makes good sense because you can store the backup drive away from your computer. That's more secure because the likelihood of both of them being lost to theft, fire, or natural disaster is lower when they're not both in the same place.

I hide my backup drive in the house when I'm away on vacation. If somebody breaks into my office and steals my computer, I still have my backup.

Son-in-law who works in computer security says that the backup device should be stored far far away -- like 100 miles! Then you're covered if your house gets hit by an atomic bomb one Sunday afternoon.

Yes, they say to keep copies current in different places. Most bldgs are ready for a fire any old time -- at least most ppl's houses.
