RAID is redundancy. It saves your data if a or two drive fail, but does not help you if the entire RAID system dies (power surge, fire, water damage). Generally if it is on the same system it is not a backup.
Comment on Google calls Drive data loss “fixed,” locks forum threads saying otherwise
Serinus@lemmy.world 9 months agoA raid counts as a backup, right?

LMAO Yes! Exactly in the same way that walking backwards towards a cliff counts as backing up. Technically it is a backup, but in practice a disaster is imminent lol.
