Hey there Yames,
A few things from me:
- RAID alone should never be considered a backup but rather redundancy as if the whole device fails or gets stolen/damaged you would lose everything.
- A backup should be considered having data on multiple drives or devices that are not connected to each other and stored on different locations.
I would recommend having the data on a main drive pool with a RAID array for redundancy and having one or more copies on external drives or devices such as simple external drives or NAS devices. Running backups to external drives as often as you can should provide you with the best safety for your data.
