I do remember time when backup was looked at a s a sort of nuisance, while now it's an integral part of Information LifeCycle Management.
Disk-to-disk backup is a fast and cost-effective way to keep your info safe, I guess it's obligatory to have RAID solution on a dedicated plan. Is it included in all Globaltap.com dedicated plans?

I believe yes, GlobalTap.com provide RAID solutions on their dedicated servers. Disk-to-disk backup - it's the other thing.
What RAID version do they provide?
What monitoring features does GlobalTap provide?
