That's why RAID is no excuse for backups.
The problem is that there is no cost effective backup available. When a
tape was the same size as a disk and 10% the cost, backups were
practical. Today anything larger than hobby size disk is just not easy
to back up. Anything large enough to be useful is expensive, small media
or something you can't take off-site and lock in a vault aren't backups
so much as copies, which may protect against some problems, but which
provide little to no protection against site disasters.
