I see your canyon, and it's good. I really like how the horizon seems tilted. Here's a £200.000 1957 190SL Mercedes Benz to get there.

RAID is just a way of combining several drives into one virtual one. Depending on the level you get redundancy but it's not a backup. Backups are a copy of your data you don't touch. RAID may offer redundancy but you still work with live data. That is by definition not a backup. You can have a RAID system as a backup system but then you just put them there and don't touch them. RAID redundancy only protects your from failing drives. Nothing else. There are many other ways to damage your data a simple RAID with live data will not cover. Accidental deletes, accidental saves, ransom ware, malware in general. None of that is being covered by a RAID with live data. Theft, vandalism, power surges, natural distasters, none of that is being covered with an on site backup - that's why you need an off-site backup. The only real protection against malware and similar stuff is an offline backup - you dump your date and as soon as it's done, you take it offline and store it off-site. Tapes are great in this regard.
 
A RAID mirror only mirrors your files and all changes - you make a stupid modification and save it? That's done. You erase it completely? That's done. You've been infected with ransom ware? That's done. If one drive fails, you don't have redundancy anymore and you're working with live data without any form of protection. And if both drives are of the same model and the same age, the other drive will most likely fail within days or weeks.
 
Bottom line: RAID IS NOT A BACKUP!
