I understand what you are saying, and so my home server is on a mirrored pair.
However I'm more likely to delete something by accident than have a drive
failure. I've only ever had one drive go bad at home in 15 years, even then
SMART let me know and I was able to buy a new drive and rebuild the mirror
without any down time, but I've deleted stuff I didn't want to many times.
As a result I use rsnapshot several times during the day and then daily and
weekly, which does eat up space on the server but has proved fantastically
useful on several occasions!
I completely understand your view but I think that desktops/laptops are where
I DO NOT keep important things, it's only local high speed working space.

Despite all its complexity, fuzziness, uncertainty and spooky action-
at-a-distance, quantum mechanics is probably a Good Thing. However, I
must also note that QM permits Microsoft Windows to exist.
