The point is that in order to lose your data, the 2nd drive needs to fail 
after the 1st one has failed but before you have a chance to copy back the 
data to the replacement, so maybe 3 or 4 days.  The probability of that 
happening is much less than a single drive failing at some point.  If you 
are really paranoid, then just buy 2 external HDs (different brands might be 
a good idea), they are ridiculously cheap nowadays anyway.
