There is no way I'd put my music library onto a single RAID array. The possibility of _accidental_ deletion is too great.

I am stupid far more frequently than hard drives fail. A wiped RAID volume can be just as permanent as a fried disk.

My technique: My server has two 250GB drives. I use one of them for my music library. Every night a cron job does a sync between that disk and another disk.

Then I occasionally make an archived backup to a drive not attached to that machine. I plan to soon automate this and have that drive in another computer, possibly in another state.
