RAID or single drive for backups?
Basically title. Is it common to use some kind of RAID for backing up other RAIDs or do people just go with single drives?

RAID. No question. Or two individual drives each alternating full backups, which is what I do.
I just plugged in a new drive to replace an SSD that locked and wouldn't write new backups. It failed a format attempt. I immediately ordered a replacement. Remember the rule: one is none.
And for fucksake, have an offsite backup.
