Wise approach Clayton.  I commented on external hard disk backup to 
external drives a few months ago (post 71205) suggesting it's the only 
way to be sure of keeping your data secure.  The moment you narrow your 
secured copy of your files to a single instance which is never 
'refreshed' - then you're vulnerable.  If you always use current storage 
technology with multiple copies (stored separately) that's about as 
secure as you can get.  Data storage is very cheap and easy to do to 
external hard disks - and fast.  But securing your data means you do 
have to have the discipline to make sure you do the deed and swap disks 
regularly / frequently - every week for me with daily incremental 
backups too.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
