when I started to get bad blocks on /home a while back ( single-disk win
7 +Linux) I installed the 2 GB 2nd drive, ported /home to it & /.. redid

 I also do clonezilla images, and have restored one using that , like
when I moved linux "/" to /dev/sdb1 .
I do daily  fsa backups & rsyncs from sda to sdb & vice versa.. so if 1
drive fails, I have a backup on the other. except for windows.. I should
do a clonezilla for windows.. hmm...
