RAID? Was: PATA hard disks, anyone?

I use rsync. I manually rsync the working disks to the backup disks every 
week or two. Working disks have the shares to other hosts. If something 
happens to that data, deleted by accident or encrypted by malware. Meh.

Hardware like netapp and maybe filesystems in open source have those 
awesome snapshot systems with there is directory tree that has past time 
version of data. A directory of 15 minutes ago, one of 6 hours ago, etc 
is what we had setup at a prior gig.
