Hello Mixture,
Could you answer a question?
A friend had this happen and while I do have everything backed up I thought I would in addition, make a bootable clone of the OS and some of the data, (I am using OS X and Carbon Copy Cloner).
My question is, if I were to leave the clone drive connected full time is it vulnerable to the bad guys who hack your machine and hold you to ransom?
I am thinking it may be if it shows up as just another drive on my system.
IOW, should I eject, or physically disconnect, the drive after each incremental back up to put it beyond reach of the hackers ?
I keep a Time Machine B/U of my system and an additional B/U of my photography.
Thanks.
