Basically title. Is it common to use some kind of RAID for backing up other RAIDs or do people just go with single drives?

    I would recommend avoiding RAID for backups. It’s preferable to have two separate backup disks in two distinct systems rather than relying on mirrored backup disks. If there’s a human error on the backup machine, you risk losing both backups simultaneously. Additionally, unforeseen events like system failure due to a lightning strike could compromise your data. Ideally, you should have two backups stored in two different location.
