Why? How does one recover from a customer database backup corruption / disk failure? Currently, this is one of the major exposure of WHS. Secondly, lack of daily backups (versioning) of the WHS shares themselves is also great backup security hole. The idea of attaching and detaching an external USB disk just to do the backup is .... unrealistic, but corruption / deletion of a file from a WHS share very likely. RAID-5 is just some extra level of hardware based protection, that cost extra money. If one can afford it, why not do it? If I am wrong any any of my thinking please do let me know.

All the redundancy in the world won't help if your house burns down.I will say though that his backup solution seems a bit paranoid and yeah, it is overkill.
