Backups are imperative! Since all my photos are managed by LR I do "manual" backups of the originals and the catalog as I go. I say manual bc I have some scripts I touch off from the keyboard that get things on removable discs and off site to Dropbox. For example, when the Eject media appears on import the originals in their final resting place get copied to a second internal rotating disk, a passport drive, and Dropbox while I am finishing adding metadata poking things in collections... So if the meteor strikes my chair while I work my ancestors can recover my last photos.

BTW You haven't creates a successful backup until you have demonstrated that you can recover your data! Just saying.

I researched the use of RAID configurations and asked a few questions - my conclusion was that I did not need it for my particular volume of images. As you found out, using RAID systems has its own problems, requiring an understanding of the pros and cons of using the different ones. Multiple individual backups works for me, and it was good that you had a separate backup not in the RAID system!

Not entirely sure how the pros do it, but I suspect they have multiple individual RAID configurations so that if one fails there are others from which the data can be recovered. They have too many images to rely on one RAID setup!

True RAID 1, disk mirroring, is resilient to other HW failures. If your really need backup at all costs the systems like EMC, IBM, Dell..are the answer. They even phone home to send repair guy without missing a beat. We had one fail in a classified environment so it had no way to report the failure. Someone noticed a light on and asked what that means who knows how long after the failure.
