I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are two kinds of hard drives; First, there is the kind of hard drive that is dying. Second, there is the kind that is going to die. You simply can't prevent a hard drive from dying, so I suggest that you always keep a clone of your drive(s) so when the even happens you will be prepared.

Changing programs from one drive to the other simply won't prevent the time when they die. Use them, use XXClone to keep complete drive backups and you won't lose data. That is my opinion.
