Default RAID/Backup Question

I've never used RAID before, but have an idea how it works. I just bought this mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P

If I decide to do a RAID 1 configuration, do I have to buy a Raid card, or does the mobo have everything I need built in?

Actually, I just want my data to be safe in case of a HD failure. I thought RAID may be easier than doing backups. But I've never done it before. Is it easier to just backup what I want to save to my 2nd drive instead of using RAID?

Thanks for any suggestions.
