So the reason I bother with this RAID stuff is because I really worry about the 'normal' people who are going to lose their digital memories and I try to help out

And I was agreeing with your post until I read that.

I'll get off my soap box now. But I won't hesitate to get back on it if someone starts implying raid is a backup solution.

PS: Perhaps I'm reading your post wrong, and you mean preserving memories is the reason you help other people with their RAID recovery. I still stand by my rant about backups, even if it doesn't apply to you.

You did misunderstand - but it was a long post and they're not always the clearest things to read or write.

For "RAID stuff" substitute "RAID and backup stuff".

RAID is bloody useful but it is not a backup solution.

PS Somehow it has more of an "Oh f*ck, did I really do that" feeling than "Kodak moments"
