Why do people trust their external data to anything but a RAID configuration?(minus raid 0)
@nsfw
Because I don't need a redundant mirror of my DVD rips?
@nsfw say it with me RAID IS NOT A BACK-UP!!!!
There now go make A PROPER BACKUP!!!
Raid does NOTHING against.
* File corruption (corrupted files just get copied over)
* Human error (deleting files by mistake)
* Catastrophic damage (someone dumps water onto the server)
* Virus' (goes to both drives)
* Software bugs that wipe out data .. (data gets deleted and the other drive mirrors the deletion.)

Raid is good at if a drive fails and it gets you up and running right away, but all these things can still cause issues.
@nsfw I would use this to backup my backups and sit offsite in case of emergencies. Cheaper in long run than cloud storage and I'm still in control of my data.
@Brainy142
Yes, RAID is for no loss of uptime for failure, not backups.
@nsfw what all you guys that are replying need to realize, is that hes probably talking about a raid backup solution i.e. two HDDs hooked up xternally?
