What docs would > you use for rsync in this case? rsync is fairly simple, the man page should be sufficient. otherwise there are plenty of backup utilities rsnapshot reoback rdiff-backup cp (as in the copy command) flexbackup ccollect backuppc dump the list goes on many of the simple tools out there use rsync. The one thing you'd get with RAID is real time copies of your data. These other tools are generally going to be a scheduled task for daily, hourly, etc, backup. You'll also lose some disk IO performance during the backup task's runtime.
