RAID is not a substitute for proper and regular backups (via Ricardo Reyes)
This line has been recently quoted by another Creative Cow user, and there is no more accurate statement, than what Ricardo said ……….
RAID is NOT a substitute for regular backups.
So the next time one of you babies starts to cry “but I spent all this money for a RAID 5/RAID 6 array, and now I lost all my data” –
all I can say is SHUT UP you baby, why didn’t you backup or archive properly.Bob Zelin

Normally, RAID is not a good substitute for back-ups but something comes to mind: Why not use a RAID 1 (usually RAID 1) card to drive 2 back-up tape drives to make 2 back-ups at the same time? Fred Jodry

so then if you need a backup anyway, why even have a raid6? why not just have multiple raid0 arrays?
