excess!
I have six backup drives, five of which are 2.5" and one 3.5" that used to be in my desktop. I purchased an external cabinet with USB interface. And I have a copy on a 256 GB USB flash drive just because. I rotate backing up to each drive on a weekly basis. Since each one is powered up less than an hour a month, I feel pretty safe cheating Murphy and his MTBF clock.
Then there's that other 2.5" drive I gave to my mother in law which also has a master copy of my music. :)
