The weakest part comes last.
Mics: very reliable, as long as P48 from pre is there.
Pres: reliable enough.
AD: in my pres, so reliable enough.
computer: not reliable --> last part of the chain.
Backup HD recorder: not as reliable as pres, but well...

Thus I go from pres into HD recorder, and the recorder's outputs go into the computer.
Safer would be having an HD recorder with hardware patch between analog ins and outs, thus sort-of passively splitting the signal. My pre's converters are better than the HD's though, so this usually isn't an option.
