Basically title. Is it common to use some kind of RAID for backing up other RAIDs or do people just go with single drives?

    I am not sure if a disk that is spun up daily will outlast one that mostly idles 24/7. Maybe if you do it only weekly?

    Well, I do it weekly in a specific case but I also have other systems running daily. I guess it also depends on the use case / amount of data written and how damaging it can be if the “hot” drive breaks between the syncs.
