rescue and recovery backups on ultrabay drive?

[allen]

would there be any benefit or problem with setting my rescue and recovery backup location to the drive in my ultrabay? or is it recommended to have the backups on your primary internal hard drive?

i forget exactly what it was like last time i had to use a backup, but i should be able to recover from a backup on the ultrabay right?
or maybe it'd be a problem if i had to use cd/dvd to run r&r, and then my ultrabay would have the cd/dvd drive instead of hard drive...

thanks in advance

I think you already stated the major issue , which is haviing to use recovery CD's if the main hard drive fails. An alternative is an external USB enclosure for the backup hard drive.
