Hummm I see all your points and that is good food for thoughts.
I now see that it is indeed a bad setup for a backup solution. I thought
that for a home user it is not necessarily worse than someone using an
attached drive to its router (Apple Time Capsule for example). Note that

A $20 spikebar will NOT protect this machine from a lightning strike

Take a different view: Mirrored drives and RAID are not really for data
protection, they're so you can keep operating in face of (some
Well, isn't your NAS
already a backup?
No. At least, not really. Any "online" backup (in other words, an
actively running machine) is always subject to issues that could destroy
your data. The power supply could go bad and fry your drives, software
issues could cause silent corruption, and yo

I'm buying some new hardware to setup a home server.
The server's primary job will be to act as a backup/file server.
I'll use a 500GB SATA drive for the OS installation and will setup two
