QUOTE: "Another option for an ongoing backup system is using RAID Mirroring; the issues with RAID Mirroring include: a higher failure rate of both the hard drives and motherboard/RAID controller, as all data is simultaneously written in two locations - from my experience this increased failure rate can be up to 500% higher than industry standard, that is why I personally now recommend backup and restore instead of RAID Mirroring - other complications with RAID Mirroring can include (but not limited to) issues sourcing compatible drives when the RAID fails and corruption of data due to brown-outs and other issues that arise only under RAID configurations, data corruption can even happen from a simple operating system crash under RAID"
