So i got my 2 hard drives for my nextcloud server. Should i go with raid or have my second hard drive borgbackup from my 1st drive?
@craftyguy My question was more: "if you only had 2 drives and had to choose between raid or backup, what would you do?". I do have a 1 tb external hard drive. I can backup to that. I dont think Ill fill up the 4 tb anytime soon so I think putting it in raid and just buying an external hard drive later when the 1tb fills up. I bought 4 tb cause the price difference from 1 tb drives wasnt that large heh.
@craftyguy Or better yet, the 1tb external fills up and I setup paid borg "host". Btw, this server is my "remote backup". I already have a local backup so thats why Im not too worried.

@anjan, @craftyguy already replied and explained on raid, I just want to add that talking about backups there is an always valid proverb: «one is none». You should have more than 1 backup, and one of them preferably offsite.
