What do you think of my backup strategy with Macrium Reflect
4 SSDs in the machine.. the primary Win 10 boot is designated as Samsung, PM981.
Which is cloned to Samsung PM951 and can be selected as an alternative boot.
Which is also cloned to the Samsung 860 EVO SATA M.2 SSD and can be selected as another alternative boot choice. I clone more or less without a schedule, when enough major changes have taken place. Sometimes twice per month and sometimes months go by without a clone. It's not incremental obviously but it dumps the entire 1TB - although it seems to me the very first time it takes 45 minutes and then 25 minutes so maybe Macrium does have some kind of incremental logic build-in.
I worked with just 2 clones (1 primary and 1 clone) for years until an accident a few days ago wiped out the EFI partition on the clone *and* the source, I was down for days.
The 4th drive, the 2.5" 860 SATA is just a data disk.
Surprisingly, despite labeled as 1TB, they are not equal. Something about being managed by the system, PM981 and PM951 appear to be identical space-wise while 860 EVO M.2 and 860 2.5" unit are a bit less, strange. I am actually surprised a clone to 860 EVO M.2 worked at all.
Question, what is that last partition in disk0? "Healthy (Primary Partition)"?
