If only the backuppc archive partition is RAID1 you don't have to change
anything. If the drive is connected at boot time the kernel will
auto-detect the RAID partitions and y
ou just mount the md? devices. Or, with RAID1 you can mount a single
underlying device directly - and if you connect with USB/firewire, etc.
after booting you might have to do it that way.
