This scheme protects nicely against failure of individual hard drives, but, no surge protector or UPS is bullet proof against a direct or near direct lightning strike on the residence. Any electronic component inside the computer or attached to it is vulnerable. It would be better to put one or more of the internal drives into external enclosures and to connect them ONLY when actually in the backup process. And better yet is to place a copy of essential data outside the residence.
