RH 7.1 (kernel 2.4.x) includes software RAID support built-in. I believe it provides RAID levels 0 (mirroring), 1 (striping), and 5. Take a look at "raidtools" package, and the online RAID how-tos. It was a PITA to set up, but works great once you do. I personally use a combination of RAID 0 and 1. Mirroring for program and data partitions, and striping for /tmp (for speed). YMMV Personally, I just use the "cdrecord" package from a backup script, to dump regular backups to CD media. The backup sets are created with "tar" and "mkisofs." That solves the full backup problem, but I haven't bothered with incrementals because my servers just don't have that much on them (yet). Not much help, sorry. No idea on item 3. Perhaps someone else will know better.
