Not sure if you covered this. Given the nature of flash drives, if it fails, it's all gone, so naturally you want to keep as up to date backups as possible. Short of running daily backups which gets tiresome, what about Mirroring? I know Windows 7 Computer --> Management --> Disk Management allows you to set up a drive as a mirror, but how given how small SSDs are, can you mirror multiple SSDs to a single HDD if the HDD exceeds storage capacity of all the SSDs in question?
(Ex 4 SSDs at 250GB ---> 1TB HDD)
 
If you have already covered this, I'd appreciate a link.
 
If not, I'd appreciate a response and a link should you actually make a video regarding this.
 

Thank you for your time

You can take images of each SSD and store them compressed on an SSD. Using software like Acronis will do this.
