Can I safely delete DD files? Their presence is preventing my backup program from working.

My backup program, iDrive, is unable to backup the DD files on my computer. Is it safe for me to delete them?

Cloud based backups are only as good as the Availability and Reliability of your Internet Connection

Unfortunately, when a backup is really required or needed

The computer is usually in a state where Internet Connections may not be available or reliable

You may consider this point carefully moving forwards with your backup strategies

3-2-1 Rescue Plan

If you have used or are using Time Machine Backup Utility  you maybe able to Restore the Deleted Files 

For future purposes

To truly protect your non replaceable Data

Have a 3-2-1 Rescue Plan in place and always current

3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 off site incase of natural disaster or un-natural disaster.

Each of the above should be done to a Dedicated Single Purposed External Drive
