But hard disks do fail, even external disks, and you need to understand that.
So, we always say, backup, backup, backup. That is, backup 3 times.

Not do you say this three times, all the CNET Moderators are repeating this with you.
After we say that 3 times in unison all the moderators say in unison the following.
"We only lose what we didn't backup."
