If its client sessions, then save to 2 locations(like an external drive and the cloud, or 2 separate external drives(and suggest the client to provide their own backup drive, too). And don't assume that a new drive won't fail for a couple of years(I had 1 go bad in 2 weeks and another just deleted thousands of file for no reason I could figure). The old rule of separate drives for system, samples and sessions is somewhat moot with modern SSD's(but as I said above, never have all your eggs in 1 basket). Most of the reasoning for separate drives was the nature of spinning drives(spreading out the load would give the best performance)

Thank you for the advice. appreciated
