Both my server and my dev machine have RAID-1. In addition:
- My server does an automated full backup once a week to OVH's free backup space (on a separate nfs drive), and an incremental backup once a day.
- My dev server (a synology NAS) does a daily backup of my important stuff (basically all my code and documents) to a backup on the RAID drive.
- Once every 2 weeks I manually download a full backup from my main server to my NAS.
- Occasionally I upload the "important stuff" backup from my NAS to my main server.
I don't regularly test my backups, but occasionally I need to extract something (because I delete something by mistake), so that tests them. I also check my logfiles regularly, so I would notice any RAID failures, failed backups, etc.
I think my procedures are sufficient for my purposes. Having RAID really helps with peace of mind!
