Kind of splitting hairs it is and it isn't. It is not a backup solution like backup software but in a way it is a backup in the sense that if you have Raid 1, 5, 10 then you have redundancy. You can lose 1, 2, 3 hard drives and still have all your data. To me thats a backup.
It is protection against data loss.
I consider the Raid on my servers to be the first part of my backup process, after that it is the backup software and NAS, then offsite backups.
I should have said something like the beginning of or integral part of the backup process instead of, definition of backup.
