USB stick is not quite as good as I thought
at least when it comes to being treated as backup device
About a year and a half ago I have described my setup of Minecraft server. I have mentioned that instead of external HDD I have decided to use USB sticks. At that time it seemed like the simplest solution.

It turned out it wasn’t. At least not quite the best approach. It took only year and a half until USB stick died. Fortunately, I have two of them. Today, by adding two more, I hope to make my backups even more fail proof. Still, it seems like HDDs are nowhere to go when it comes to serving as a backup :)
