Of course, backups don't fix the problem when the applications are not
compatible with the data...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

sure, RAID can fail but the risk is already a lot lower. I run a RAID 10 array
in my desktop and it automatically backs up to my own server in a EU country
every night which runs it's own backup (on two RAID arrays).
Is this paranoid? yes, but I lost data once in my life and with this setup I am
sure I won't have that problem again. As you said, disks are cheap today and
going for the lower density 250GB or 500GB drives instead of the 1TB ones is
already a step in the right direction. The good thing is they are even cheaper!
$300 was the total investment with the re-use of an old PC and 4 new 250GB
HDD's.

Been there, done that, twice, following the insistent instructions
of the vendor :( Now I'm getting by quite comfortably with a
cron rsync. The only reason I replace drives is when they get full :(
