To dispel any doubt, my previous post was not intended to argue against your position, but just a statement of practice. FWIW, I sure do recall those florfed clones, and I have this dark-green suspicion (no hard supporting figures here either) that many—if not most—of those problems had to do with cloning while continuing to work and/or with hardware glitches.
In conclusion, I have no argument whatsoever with your backup approach, but I haven't had occasion (yet) to follow it either.
