Should I Use RAID for Backup?

Описание: ✴️ RAID is a valuable technology for improving apparent disk speed and fault tolerance, but should you use it as a replacement for your backup?

RAID and its uses
RAID — Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks — is a technology used to increase either the reliability or speed of hard disk access, or both, by configuring multiple disks to act as a single disk drive. RAID is not a replacement for backing up, as it provides no protection for other types of hardware failure, malware (including ransomware), and user error.
