I'm not a fan of using Raid arrays as part of a back up. Raid controllers can fail. I know this, as I've had it happen. I do have more than one drive in my machine. One is only used as a backup of the main photo storage disk using Cobian back up. Thus, I have two copies of my data in my computer, and if one disk was to fail, I'd be ok. As far as back up goes, that seems to accomplish what a mirrored raid does without adding another point of possible hardware failure. I combine this with multiple back ups on external hard drives.
