OK, as part of my security routine I regularly clone my HDD.
My question is, how often is a suitable pattern ?
I know that cloning is hard on a drive, repeatedly cloning a drive I imagine is hard on it.
I tend to clone mine every Sunday, weather or not I have added new software. Is this too frequent ?
Should I only clone it when I add new software, or large updates are added to the OS ?
One of my friends even suggested just putting in the other HDD and allowing it to update regularly and just install software to both when I add new software.
What is the MT communities take on cloning and it's best practices ?
Thanks for your input.
