To the person who found my blog by searching for “raid 1 backup“, please note: RAID IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE BACKUP SOLUTION!
Any method of RAID (other than RAID0) is good for protecting against failing hard drives. However, it is by no means a backup solution, as it doesn’t save your data from things like accidental deletion, file system corruption, users, and malicious software. If you’re looking for a backup solution, investigate external hard drives, SAN/NAS devices, tape backup units, etc….
Please. For the sake of your data, get a real backup solution.
