I can only give you my take on it. With the capacity and cost today of an external 1TB drive (3.0), full backups are the best option. With verify. Sure, it's gonna take a little longer, but you'll have the whole pie in one piece, verified. Very easy to schedule and maintain multiple copies based on your needs. I keep a rolling 14 copies, full. I backup every day, so that's 2 weeks. It gets ejected and placed on the shelf. I've never found 15-20 minutes at the end of the day, while I'm fixing dinner or something, to be a high cost for piece of mind.
Just my take and my experience. TC
