RAID != backup != offsite backup!
I setup a little HP MicroServer (very cute little box) with 5x2TB
disks in a RAID5, and hit just this dilemma. Solution was to buy a
second similarly equipped and use as the offsite backup.
Of course you then have to worry about the security model of someone
breaking into either your main box or offsite backup box (depending on
the direction of your security gradient....)
RAID !=
backup
It does not help if you have a fire. A few businesses have been lost due
to not remembering this.
