that combines multiple physical disk
drives into one logical unit to
improve data redundancy,
performance, or both. RAID uses
different configurations (levels) to
balance speed, fault tolerance, and
storage capacity

while RAID 5 and RAID 6 offer both redundancy and better storage
utilization with parity.
However, RAID is not a substitute for a backup solution, as it cannot
protect against data corruption or accidental deletion. Additionally,
RAID setups can be complex, expensive, and require specialized
hardware. RAID 0 offers high performance but has no redundancy,
making it risky for critical data.

backup (either full or incremental) is backed up.
Differential Backup: Backs up all the data that has
changed since the last full backup.
Snapshot Backup: A snapshot backup captures the state
of a system or volume at a specific point in time.

occur and which types to use.
