RAID is mandatory for a mail server. Backups are difficult for mail servers
as the data is changing all the time, and they'll never be complete.
Having a single drive failure lose all your data is unacceptable.
Software RAID in Linux works quite well. The Debian install disks don't
support it, but if you check the archives of this list you should find a
message from me describing how to solve that.
