Basically title. Is it common to use some kind of RAID for backing up other RAIDs or do people just go with single drives?

I have a tiny archive of my own consisting of one 1 TB and one 2 TB USB HDDs by different vendors. Whenever I want to save something, I put it on both. Btrfs snapshots make that really easy.
