The problem

RAID protects availability against some disk failures but does not protect against deletion, ransomware or many logical failures.

Recommended approach

Use RAID for storage resilience and a separate backup system for recovery.

Step-by-step checklist

  1. Define critical NAS data.
  2. Use RAID appropriate to the workload.
  3. Schedule independent backups.
  4. Keep an offsite or offline copy where practical.
  5. Test restore procedures.
