It sucks having to maintain the drives, prevent the bit rot, restoring them from backup when the drive(s) fail, paying for, installing, maintaining the technology black hole that you fall down into trying to mitigate all of the above from happening in the first place. Right now, for me, its an external SSD drive and I have a Blaze backup that, in theory, when it works, when it hasn't decided to not backup for a week, preserves it all up in the cloud for me, while my Time Machine manages my main system drive locally. I dread the day I'll have to restore all of this when the inevitable disaster strikes, but I SHOULD be protected (knock on wood). |

It fits on one drive, so you can do all that with a few minutes of effort once every two or three years. Or just when you change drives, even less often.

Is that more than having a backup? You'd better be doing that anyway.
You could go fancy and set up Z-RAID but if you're really inclined to do that you'd probably already have it set up for your main files and then dumping the music on top is near zero effort.
