Woah. Hold on. There is a difference between backup and availability. Copying your data to remote locations is part of backup. RAID is for availability (with integritry possibly included) but is not backup. I initially read the original post as availability but maybe I am wrong. What is the desired goal? What is the usage? Personal or business?
