(question) backup storage
From Devi Garcia · Mar 16, 2019
I see some suggest raid which is a good first step but please don't make people think this is the only step... over on Reddit and the the internet people go on for days about how raid is NOT backup... For true backups you need as Rex suggested multiple copies on and offsite copies as well as look Into encrypted cloud storage via Google one/gsuite, amazon or even backblaze which is recommended quite a bit.. all comes down to how much your willing to spend on that data as someone said in the last email..

Yes, sorry for the confusion. There are a handful of different RAID types--RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10. RAID is simply just the way data is handled across multiple drives, yes it is not a backup. However, the RAID types that have redundancy to them make it where you can completely lose a drive and still detain all the data within the array. As long as too many drives don't fail at once, and you replace a drive within a timely manner, and you keep all the drives synchronized, there should be no worry about data loss or data recovery.
Doing off-site backups are excellent, as acts of God, power loss, or other general disasters will not damage all the data. Paying a company to store your data is great, because they will keep it managed with more expertise, experience and equipment than most people have, and it makes it someone else's problem, which is a common good business practice for I.T.
The benefit of backups is that you can do a rollback to a certain date, should something screw up.
