I'm sure "slow" is a relative term, compared to backing up TBs of

You don't backup your RAID arrays? Yikes! For certain data this would
be fine (data that you can recreate easily) but it sounds like this
isn't the case for you otherwise you'd just wipe the array and
recreate the data. There are other modes of failure than just the
drives themselves (file system corruption for instance) so it is wise
to do backups, even on "redundant" systems.
My personal and business system are backed up. On "projects" those who
write the budget set the policy and I just make sure I have a risk
assessment with their acceptance in writing. University is not like real
life in many cases.
