Industry pros sweat the possibility that many digital files will eventually become unusable — an archival tragedy reminiscent of the celluloid era.

Obligatory raid isn’t backup.

While yes, this will protect you from a disk dieing if you monitor it enough to notice. But it doesn’t save you from a nas dieing. Maybe you could rebuild the array with similar hardware but that’s not a sure thing.

Not trying to be a dick just trying to help, but,

Dying*

This exactly. NAS+RAID gives you a backup of your local media. It can account for one of your three copies and one of your storage mediums. But you still need something off site.

So assuming you had a copy on your computer proper, it could work. Better than no backups.
