RAID is not a backup.

The simplest way to remember how to back up your images safely is to use the 3-2-1 rule.

Keeping 3 copies of any important file (a primary and two backups)
Having the files on 2 different media types (such as hard drive and optical media), to protect against different types of hazards.*
1 copy should be stored offsite (or at least offline).
