RAID6 only works if the machine is working fine. If something happens that toasts the whole thing then you’re fucked unless you have a backup offsite.

Backups are important, but we were talking about drive failures. Backups help when you screw up the data; RAID6 helps when drives go bad. If you don’t trust the hardware, RAID.

Backups only means you’re down until you restore; RAID5/6 means you stay up.

Right, but he was talking about the 3 2 1 rule and you recommended RAID6.

But he was responding to someone who was unconfortable with putting all their eggs in one basket. That’s not what backups are for.
