Relying on RAID for a backup is always a bad idea!

Thanks for the RAID links and I'm aware odf said opinions but I'm doing
a RAID 1 for hardware backup if a drive fails the other keeps going and
I'll continue until the other is repaired or replaced.

I also have a RAID one in an external eSATA for backup. Gotta backup
thoses pictures.

So how about it. I need to get one of my new HDDs' mirrored to my
current single system HDD.

How about if I slap a new WD 750GB 7200 rpm in beside my current WD
750GB Green 5000/7200 rpm unit in a RAID 1 and let it mirror? Walla?
