I do have a disaster management plan (run automated databse backup, twice a day, to 2-3 online storage as redundant backup.) Is ECC RAM mobo crucial for my setup? how severe & frequent is the corruption if i use NON-ECC RAM? So i need a clarification, if not, at least a consensus.

To add more to the confusion, some vendors are marketing obvious desktop grade setup as server solutions. Stuff i read on forums is giving me conflicting views, some says ECC RAM is a must, while other says it is optional, as long as it is not extremely high load, availability & sensitive, like banking(where a single mistake could cost a fortune). To reduce cost and simplify maintainace, im thinking of making a simpler setup and consolidating them all on one device (planning to get a new HW) i have been running these services for a while now (except for dolibarr which is hosted online) on several old destkop grade PCs, NON-ECC memory with little trouble. On top of LAMP ill be running, Owncloud and dolibarr ERP sofware.
