RAID 1 VS Server Backups
How do you guys do it? RAID wont protect you against viruses or corruption. So do you just split your drives; half for backups or how do you do it?

i dont make backups at all
and i dont care about virusses , as the download server is only for files
so as long apache can keep running is everything fine on it , if it goes wrong then it is bad luck
every file on my server get deleted every 15 days to safe space (with out download)
so most of the time , old files are deleted or non downloaded files are deleted (exept premium)
if it happends that files get corupted , then they need to upload it again
its not our responsibility to act as a backup server , we are a file host server that offer you a location so you can get your files downloaded
we are not a backup server that keeps your files stored and secured for every1
so i dont see why i would waste 1.5TB hd for backups (specialy not why i would use raid for it )
if you want to do it for the premium members only , then i can suggest to take a extra server for premium files only , so they are safe
but still the same answer for me , my site is a download site and not a storage site for your needed files
