RAID != Backup!!!
RAID = if you write bad data to one disk, you get it everywhere.
Backup = If you write bad data to a disk, you can roll back to it.

For this server it is more important to be able to restore the data then to have the system back up and running in seconds. I hear allot of people saying to just make the second drive an image of the first and then run an hourly cron job to copy the/home/ directories?
yes - best locally *AND* to "warm standby" backup servers (placed at different locations spread over the campus) that is mirroring the data and performing its own backup.
See http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ for ideas of HD-based backup/mirror.
