I really wish people would stop spouting "RAID" every time backup comes up. It's nice and great for high-availability, but RAID is *NOT* backup. If I accidentally delete/overwrite a file, if my HDD's are fried in a power surge, if my house burns down ... I'm SOL if I was depending on RAID as a "backup."
Wow... so much for sharing information on Digg. I got "dugg down" just for posting some helpful tips that were relevant to the topic. I guess that's what "democratizing news" gets you. The idiots run the show.

Where are THEY hosting their backups? Aren't you just as f**ked if their servers crash?

So, if your offsite backup site burns down, or they have an equipment failure, you lose all your data too... what's your point?
