I have to setup a server with three VMs. It must also act as first backup storage location. The server is equipped with 8x1,8TB HDDs.

I'm not sure if it's a good choice to have one big raid10 with both vHDDs and Backup or create two RIAD10 array: 1) 4x1,8TB for vHDD 2) 4x1,8TB for backup

What do you suggest? Thanks.

If you want to have a backup, make a separate RAID for the backup.

The setup I would use is: 4xHDDs in RAID10 for usage and 4xHDDs in RAID 5 for backup, as it would give you additional space for multiple backups and still have redundancy.
