[QUOTE="Larry, post: 887912, member: 785"] RAID is not backup by any stretch of the imagination, it is a "bacon saver" and a huge convenience (if hot swappable). I've seen RAID 10 arrays lose two disks in the same mirror set within an hour or two on a number of occasions. I once saw an enterprise SAN storage controller lose 8 disks in one drawer in 4 hours. Luckily there were enough global hot spares in other trays, enough RAID redundancy and enough time to complete disk rebuilds before losing the array. I love RAID, I love a good backup strategy, they got married and had twins called Data Integrity and Data Recoverability. I have no interest in restoring from backup if I don't need to [/QUOTE]
