Some kinds of RAID are a kind of backup.  If one drive is mirroring 
another, it is a backup copy in case the first drive fails.

That said, of course you'd be completely crazy not to have daily tape 
backups transported by Brinks to four distant locations in the US and 
stored in vaults with guard dogs and armed security staff.  Or maybe just 
copies at home and office would work.
