That's why RAID is no excuse for backups.
Of course yes, but... (I'm working in car industry) Raid is your active (if not pro-active) security system, like a car ESP ; if something goes wrong, it gracefully and automagically re-align to the *safe way*. Whereas backup is your airbag. It's always too late when you use it. And I've never seen anyone trying to recover something from a backup without praying... So, one day or another, I'll develop the strongest backup technology ever, using marble-based disks and a redundant cluster of egyptian scribes. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
