But I don't want to loose any data at all. there is no way to guarantee this. you could improve your odds by having multiple storage locations with multiple copies and a rigorous method for routinely testing the backup media for corruption and making new replacement copies of the backups to prevent future loss. For example, make multiple identical backups. sprinkle them in various locations. on a periodic, routine basis, test those backups for possible corruption. If their clean, make a new copy anyway to put in rotation, throwing away the old ones after so many periods. If you find a corrupt one, get one of your clean ones to reproduce it and start over. there is now way, using only one physical storage medium, to guarantee no loss of data. maybe I;'m reading this wrong , but it seems to be what you're asking for. > A
