Reading about a storage array used by a Kickstart project I'm following where they lost 3 drives in the span of a few seconds in an 8 drive RAID6 array. They are now waiting for a data recovery company to hopefully restore and clone the contents of one of the drives to rebuild the array. I don't know how this kind of failure is possible but it's a good reminder to make backups even when your data is in what is supposed to be a very reliable storage element.

@gabrielesvelto@mas.to Indeed, "RAID is not a backup". This is why in my own setup I have important zfs datasets backed up to second onsite pool with syncoid and really important data also to a remote server.
