However, aside from the obvious benefits of off-site backups, it is extremely important that any servers you have implement a RAID configuration, so that one disk dying never means immediate downtime. This is something they should have already suggested/setup for you, imho.
raid does not help file system corruption. Raid is not the god send, sure it helps but its not the fix all. I have seen way to many raid systems fail.
