On the other hand - what will you do if your server gets a hardware problem and you have to replace/expand the system with a new NIC, add another CPU, exchange anything in the box. So after a simple hardware problem all your own data is lost as well, even if the harddrive is not having any problems.

Just my 2 cents. :-)
