Is there any kind of RAID that can be considered a backup?

No, because any individual system is still susceptible to theft, fire, water damage, electrical damage. RAID 1 is just a protection from one hard drive dying.

That was a rhetorical question :). If I delete files by accident, RAID won't help me.

And yet I still can't easily get it to ignore `node_modules` folders.

Please use git (or similar) for code. GitLab even has free private repos for personal projects. Dropbox is for binary files (like PDF, MSOffice, etc).

Dropbox is for whatever I want to put in it. Including code! Just because I keep my project folders inside of Dropbox doesn't mean i'm not using git.
