Friendly reminder to backup your NAND in more than one place. My timing was damn near perfect; I had both my NAND backups on an external hard drive. It's a pretty old and today I got the dreaded click-of-death. Just a few days ago I compressed my NAND backups so they would fit on a spare 64gb flash drive that I have. Yes, you could just make another NAND backup, but for people that have a clean NAND backup that's never had homebrew loaded it would suck to loose that backup.
I highly suggest keeping one backup on a flash drive and another backup on a hard disk as flash media can degrade over time. In a perfect world keep both your backups on hard disk media or optical media.
