A RAID1,5 or 10 is perfectly fine for backups.....ive been using them for years now. When one of the platters died there was no frying of other disks, or other electical wizardry.....not entirely sure where that comes from
You should have an external backup to USB too.
You can't protect against every eventuality....if thats how you look at it, you may as well stop using computers and go live under a rock. The goal after all is to enjoy computing, and not spend ing your entire life trying to insure against every possible scenario, including the very unlikely.
