yep, exactly....

I'm not on Raid, I use a firewire farm.... because I normally only write these drives once and just read from them after that. But same principle applies. I have backup duplicates of every drive in the farm. If one dies, I pop in a blank, restore from the backup, and I'm back in business an hour later.
