Hi Ryan
this is a real and dangerous misunderstanding of the purpose of Raid
technology IMHO.
Raid keeps your system running if one drive fails at a time but would not
help against software corruption,
(user) deletion of files, fire, theft and many more.....

That's why the "backup copy" is on non-spinning spindles off-site. See
my original message.

Subject: Re: OT: How do you store your precious moments for posterity?
I store all my photos and scans on a dedicated RAID 5 setup. In my
case, I built one using a 3ware card, my old PC, a gig-e card and
FreeBSD. Today, I'd probably buy something like the ReadyNAS NV. I
make backups to firewire disks and store those off-site.
To me, this is the only way to make sure my files survive.
