[QUOTE="drealit, post: 509403, member: 70031"] He addressed that also in his first post. He is definitely right though in that RAID really isn't a true backup solution. In reality you'd want a local server and also something that is remotely backing that up... I personally use UnRaid as my server solution. It doesn't have 1 single point of failure (where data loss will occur) which I like most about it, not to mention there's a huge range of hardware you can use for it - and not reliant on same hard drives either. Multiple simultaneous drive failures are required for there to be data loss basically (motherboard, cpu, ram, usb, psu, sata card... any or all of those could die and your data would still be ok... unless the psu takes everything with it hahha).
