That would leave the backup drives vulnerable to the same potential problems that could damage/corrupt the main drives.
Besides, gigabit ethernet is fairly fast, faster than USB2 for example,

You may as well just put the other disks in the same tower and back up to them locally. It would be much faster than backing up across the network cable to another machine.

@DannyBoi56 Well I backed up 1.8TB and it took just under 3 days using a gigabit connection. On average I got about 7-8MB/s transfer speed.
I built a 4 disc 4TB RAID5 freenas box. I am having a problem with the RAID5 software status stopping when the machine reboots. The only thing I have been able to do is rebuild the array to get it to work again. What can I do to fix this?

@kjnash432 Check out the FreeNAS forum on Sourceforge. There are many geniuses who have probably already talked about this issue. If you have installed the software and mounted everything correctly, you may have a hardware incompatibility. Also on the forum is a list of compatible hardware. Good luck!

This is a pretty bad idea. Backing up on RAID0 is like putting your portemonaie in front of your house and hope it wont be stolen. One drive crashes, the full backup becomes useless.

@fLoodom Meh, I have yet to have a crash (knock on wood). I will say that the back up servers disks have all been taken down and put into Windows machines as that's just as easy for back up. I'm thinking that external drives would work nicely too.
