Great day, no files and data have a real meaning if they don't have a safe backup.

When backup drive saw what you are saving on it, it said :

I understand you perfectly. I make incremental copies daily and my most important files are stored in the cloud too

Lost important data in 2006 because XP encrypted the Pictures folder.

Its the perfect day to backup your backups and then to back them up and backing up those backed up backups that have been backed up and then to create backups of those.

Rollback isn't a solution against hardware failure. Try creating a copy of your data to an external or cloud storage.

I know, I use Drive Cloner as well. Made that mistake a while back of buying the HDS hype but I use both programs. I was moreso just cracking a joke

You've already failed by explaining the joke.

Can I back it up?

A nice initiative with a great objective of data safety literacy!
I have all big data (games, movies etc) occasionally transferred to home PC HDDs via Ethernet cable.
Regular files (important or otherwise) are either backed up to USB or Drive (Windows app) as per requirements.

Have lost a lot of data thrice.
Once, I recovered about 400GB data by Minitools Partition Wizard tool (Ubuntu installer didn't detect Windows in EFI mode and clean wiped entire HDD). The other recovered from Google Photos backup. And the third loss was unrecoverable.
Since joining MT, I've taken special care, having mitigation and recovery tools to be able to get things back when needed.
