Absolutely correct. RAID protects against drive failure, period. It doesn't protect against accidental file deletion, overwriting a new file with an older version, filesystem corruption due to various causes, etc. It also does not protect against controller or complete host failures, or catastrophic loss of the facility due to man made or natural disasters (hence why off site backup is required for crucial information). -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
