- Not making backups.
- Not verifying backups and finding out restore time.

RAID 0 is the best way to ensure data redundancy. It’s what we use at every Fortune500 company and there’s not an issue.
But it’s still not a backup strategy. You should always have a second partition on the server that you sync your data over to. For performance reasons this partition should be on the same RAID 0 array.
Backing up to a different partition on the same RAID array sounds like a good way to lose all your data.
The backup should be physically separate from the original.
Yes, and it should use another type of media, like tape, glass, stone tablets or optical media
Preferably something geographically separated from the server as well in case of some kind of physically destructive event like a fire.
I can validate this. I work as the IT ops guy for every Fortune 500 company and we only use RAID-0 for backups.
I prefer RAID -1, which is like RAID 0 except that you routinely yank one of the drives so that only the fittest of the bits survive, greatly improving the quality of your data!
