</div>You can do rsyncs from /etc/cron.daily onto a spare, normally unmounted<br>
and spun-down, disk. That way if your SSD ever goes south, you lose at<br>
most a day's work. When I got my ssd I wasn't sure what to expect, so I<br>
figured I'd play it safe. The only time I needed the daily backup was a<br>
goof that did involve the ssd, but was the result of confusion as to<br>
which directory I was in. The incredible speed of the SSD allowed me to<br>
delete a few thousand pictures in approximately a second. SSD's:<br>
allowing you to make mistakes faster than ever before. ;-)<br>
