Standard reminder to home / small biz RAID users: it is an availability solution, not a replacement for backups. It lets you have fewer service outages connected to disk failures. There are many more ways to lose your data than physical media failures.
- Gigachad 5y ago100%. I much prefer snapshots. All of my data loss situations have been in accidental deletion / formatting situations which raid does nothing for. I can’t see any use for raid as a consumer other than raid 0 for speed.
- ComodoHacker 5y agoSnapshots also aren't a replacement for backups, as they reside on the same media/device.
- y4mi 5y agoThey can be if the snapshots are copied to another device though
