Fine, but effectively if your 'data' HDD goes down...  I assume you have backup 
elsewhere.   Your symlink method does nothing for a failure over a one HD 
system, methinks.   Either one can break and if so, you'd better have a backup 
elsewhere.

Besides nightly of backup darn near everything to a DIFFerent computer (and 
vice versa) ,  I use a 1 TB HD in a USB adapter to backup several systems 
periodically...  as in a couple of times a month.

And moving that USB HD to another location (should I want to do so) is nothing 
more than a slight tug out of its adapter....   rather than dismantling the 
drives from a computer.
