I've never seen the point of RAID in a domestic situation.  It's more
for providing secure, always available, disk storage, not for
providing backup.  Apart from anything else if the computer catches
fire or is destroyed by some other means (or stolen) then all your
data is gone, no matter how redundant the strorage was.

Some sort of off-site, or at the very least 'off system' backup is
what's needed to preserve data.
