- All docs are on a NAS which uses RAID for redundancy/availability.
- Contents of NAS are regularly backed up to a removable disk set, one is kept offsite and rotated regularly.
- I also keep along term archive with special file system flags that will not let a file be modified or deleted. (The error messages when it tries to do something with them let me know there's a corruption issue somewhere...)

So any given document will be sitting on 4 separate drives/arrays after a couple of weeks...

And +1 for RAID IS NOT A BACKUP

With a backup you can recover from a fuckup, like accidentally deleting the wrong file... with RAID you can't, the file is gone.
