So I want to know if this is possible and whether or not it's a good idea.
So let's say I have a two drive mirrored array. Can I attach a third drive to the array, sync all the data so it becomes a three drive mirror, then detach the third drive so I store it separately as backup?
Would this work? Is it a terrible idea? (And if so why is it terrible?)
Also, are there any other backup strategies I should consider for offline/powered off backups of a mirror array?
I know the question is a little vague, but I'm trying to figure out if the idea is even worthy of attempting. Thanks.
