RAID Recovery: Have A Good Backup Strategy Because You Are Out Of Luck
♦ by Unknown Sunday 16 September 2012
RAID Is great until it breaks. Once it breaks you restore from backups, because the data is gone. Redundant RAID systems like 1 and 5 are fine, until you don't repair the volume before you lose a critical number of drives, but once you go critical your only option is to restore from back up. There are drive recovery services but you are looking at 10's of thousands of dollars.

Yeah thats the difficulty of being an admin. Never know much about the system till things break down.
Oh this video reminds me of my first week as an IT admin, our primary server which served as a DNS, DHCP, File, and Email server(dumb idea in first place) had three hard drives fail out of 8 in a raid 5. That week was spent rebuilding the server from scratch since the backup system the previous person had was never tested and failed to recover. Cause of this I now have 5 different backup sets at three different sites tested bi annually.
