[ale] motherboard RAID versus software RAID

And what I tell people is 'Asynchronous RAID'
having 1 (or more) identitical or larger drives
in that same system that get rsync'd daily and 
some portions more often.

I've had far more problems with data loss (rm -r -f * {Oh $Diety!}) 
or the need to go back to yesterdays code than I have with hard drive 
failure. 

And when setup right, the rsync'd drive is bootable
and can either be a live system, or can be quickly
by copying some files around. - Which has also saved my
buns.

You can also mix true RAID (hardware or software)
with this thought..
