The first harddisk is running in a raid (mirroring). But beside this raid I'd like to have a backup to this second harddisk. Call me paranoid if you like, but I feel better with this solution.
Saves you daily backups and gives you instant backup on failure. And IIRC your system can keep on running 'on one tyre'.
