    It’s up to you. Things to consider:

    • Size of data
    • Recovery speed (Internet speed)
    • Recovery time objective
    • Recovery point objective (If you’re backing up once per day, is it okay to lose 23 hours of data when a disk fails?)

    If your recovery objectives can be met with the anticipated data size and recovery speed, then you could do RAID 0 instead of RAID 1 to get higher speeds and capacity. Just know that if you do that, you better be on top of your backups because they will be needed eventually.
