Hello to the Anti-Online community. Today we are discussing raid setups and configurations.

At my office I have a raid 1 setup on my computer. This has already saved me once from a complete crash and now that I have gotten a replacement hard drive for the broken one my redundency is back up and running. Even though this is a good way to keep my data safe I have not followed this good practice everywhere.

At my home I have a somewhat new computer that I built and configured with a (dare I say it) RAID 0 setup (I can hear the gasps already). Yes I actually thought the performance of the RAID 0 would somehow make my computer all the more faster. Needless to say I barely notice a difference and now I face a problem which may show up in the future.

My question is as follows...

Is it at all possible to make this RAID 0 configuration into a RAID 0+1 or perhaps a RAID 5 or RAID 6 configuration? I know I have made the mistake of a RAID 0 config. but thankfully it has caused no problems so far...but for how long will it stay that way is the real question.

Should I... A) Just get a backup device and run a nightly/weekly backup? B) Find a way to reconfigure the RAID so it is either a RAID 0+1, or RAID 5 or 6? C) Pray that It doesn't fail in the near future and just save the important and personal data on it in case something goes wrong. I want to hear from the people in this community of their ideas or best practices for this type of dangerous setup I have done.
