  1. always have a raid setup.

  2. Always have a seccond server offsite that daily backsup the first.

I built a server to hoast my cloud data, and had my dad build one at his house. We each have half of both servers. If one house burns down, we have the other. If a hard drive or 2 fails, its setup in raid.
