No, I don't claim that the primary is perfect. It's possible that I might have deleted something accidentally that I didn't mean to. But my (admittedly not perfect) solution to that is to maintain 3 backup copies and rotate them. I only backup about once/month unless there's something critical I can't afford to lose... but in that case I'd probably also keep the flash card around for quite some time as an additional safety measure. Since I have 3 copies in roughly monthly rotation I have 3 months to discover an error if I made one. But if I did make one I've never found it. So, even if I did make such an error what I lost was probably unimportant. :-)

Well, I have screwed up, once or maybe even twice, and don't run rotating 
back-ups, so no syncing for me.


Also, as I mentioned last time we discussed SyncBack, SyncBack produces a log of its *intended* copy and delete operations before it carries them out. You have every opportunity to review the log before those operations are committed.

Yes, and it's just too long to go through - for me. It's a personal thing. I'd rather have a few extra files on the back-up than spend my time perusing the log. I'd rather watch grass grow. :-)

Lazy is as Moose
