Don't overwrite your most recent backup while making a new one.
Ever. In that short time, you will not have a valid recent backup.
Given your history of being way out the bell curve, that's when
things will fail.
If you're going main-> backup drive, hopefully you have enough
space on the backup drive to have multiple copies of the data from
the main one so that you don't have to overwrite your most recent
backup.
