I agree. Raid is no backup.
I expect your experience is extensive to see that many dual drive RAID1
failures. Haven't seen one yet myself (knock wood).
Several years ago, I recovered all but a handful of files from a 3-drive
raid-5 array where 2 drives had failed. Wasn't pretty. Needless to say,
there were no backups (wasn't my doing).
I know where you're coming from. ;)

I would say that not doing backups of RAID at any level is rather unwise.
Of course I have seen dual drive failures of a RAID1 array on about 5
occasions. I have also seen a dual drive failure and a controller SNAFU
of a RAID5 on 2 occasions.
Simply put, RAID is not a backup. RAID is to keep you running when a
drive dies. Backups are to get you running again when RAID fails or
when something happens that RAID doesn't protect from (file
deletion/corruption either accident or on purpose).

'find' on the droboFS doesn't support '-links' so I had to get

Sorry, I'm not familiar with droboFS. So I checked it out a bit.
From the looks if things, droboFS may not (from their web site) "deliver
the best file sharing experience ever". I certainly wouldn't trust my
data to "BeyondRAID" technology alone (give me software Raid-10 any
day). You're wise to be doing backups of the thing. Good luck with it.
