That’s what backups are for, where the 3-2-1 backup strategy is best, but getting people to create even a single backup copy of their data is a seemingly futile endeavor, especially after their minds have been tainted by the RAID fallacy.

    1. Copies of data.
    1. Copies on separate media.
    1. Copy stored off-site.

RAID exists to provide high availability, at the expense of increased complexity, and reduced reliability. RAID is NOT backup!

Frankly, I find it shocking that so many people sincerely believe that RAID can act as a backup, right up to the moment when they lose all their data.
