RAID is (should be!) used to gain better system uptime or speed. It doesn't do diddly squat for backups. RAID systems need to be backed up just the same as non-RAID systems do. I guess IA didn't know that.
I don't know the details of IA operations then or now, but point out that if udetected long enough the corruption would be copied to the full set of full backups.
