When, one fails, transfer your back up to another. I save to two EHDs and Amazon monthly. I've never invested in Blackblaze (or similar services), but I always have everything stored in at least two places.

I'm glad you got everything recovered, such a relief!!!

Yes that's really great advice Sheri! I wish I had known this before the failure but now I know!
