Re: [Digital BW] Re: Anyone backing up their files online?

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.
