Hi Ryan this is a real and dangerous misunderstanding of the purpose of Raid technology IMHO. Raid keeps your system running if one drive fails at a time but would not help against software corruption, (user) deletion of files, fire, theft and many more.....
Absolutely, but he then stated: "I make backups to firewire disks and store those off-site."
which mostly solves that problem. The only danger is deleting the last copy of a file BEFORE it is backed up. But that's a danger I deal with everyday in an enterprise environment. Users are stupid and backups are not instantaneous.
