I assume most photographer can't afford to install replicated file servers (or pro photographers make a lot more money than I thought. :-) though they may have several computers around the workplace/home that they can use for backup. In any case, I don't trust RAID. At the same company, I had a RAID controller fail on me and scrambling all the contents. The only thing that saved us from take a major productivity hit was the 2 hourly sync disk I kept under my desk. It should be noted that most, the emphasize on most, disks will fail long after they become obsolete. I still have a 150 MB and 2GB hard disk. Does anyone want it?
