A hard drive docking station may be useful in the very near future.
I backup, and have for several years, with a simple relatively low tech way.
I have an internal data drive and 2 external 1 tb backups drives with the externals connecting thru USB 3 ports.
Using Syncback SE from 2BrightSparks.com ( a totally great, infinitely flexible piece of software) , my data drive is backed up to these two separately (as is my wife's laptop across the network) automatically about 4:30 every day. (if my pc is asleep, it gets woken up for the backup and put back to sleep when its done)
The 1 tb drives are approaching 80% each and I am looking at transitioning to new 2 or 3 tb drives, one internal and two external in a drive cradle like
SATA QuickPort Duo USB3.0 -v.2- SHARKOON Technologies GmbH
or
EN-CAHDD-U3 Series - Cavalry
They support the infamous JBOD standard (Just a Bunch of Disks)
