IMHO RAID is for availability, it will keep you going if a drive fails but it's not intended to be a backup. My power supply could go bonkers and fry all the drives.
RAID 1 isn't backuping, but create backup each second is stupid, you are not in the bank, so RAID1 + daily backuping to the LAN + weekly backuping to the other location (DVDs or HDD) must be good for the all adult business...

Don't try make this backuping too complicated, it will fuck you up...
