That drive is backed up daily using Time Machine. The daily work for the year is stored on an external 5TB drive. UPDATE: As for my current 2018 setup, I am running an iMAC with a Retina 5K Display and a 3.5GHz Processor with 1TB Storage. Yes it can be used as a backup destination, but the redundancy is not a backup in itself. So in that vein, I am retitling the post. THIS IS NOT A BACKUP SYSTEM.This was the point I was trying to make.
What I am trying to say is that many people use a RAID as their primary storage system, and have it configured either as a RAID 1 or 5, thinking that the redundancy of the RAID is a backup. It is possible I did not make clear what I was trying to convey about RAID.ĪNOTHER NOTE: I have redesigned the site and for some reason, the comments are not showing.
