Would folks agree with this:- Whilst the concept of duplicating the 'main' hard disc to a second hard drive would appear attractive, and whilst this is a plausible option for disaster recovery following a hard disc failure, it is not, necessarily, a successful strategy to prevent virus prolification on ones system.
