I mean a backup of a RAID pool is likely just another RAID pool (ideally off-site) โ maybe a tape library if you've got considerable cash.
Point is that mfg refurbs are basically fine, just be responsible, if your backup pool runs infrequently then that's a good candidate for more white label drives.
