Absolutely Bob,
I know that the OP wasn't happy to hear it, but Jason made a very good (reply)
post that shared the comments that I'm sure that we were all thinking.
I have a (Solaris admin) friend at another company who apparently has quite a
few friends/colleagues/etc who are running Solaris or some Solaris based distro
at home for ZFS based data storage, and he shared (what I feel) is a somewhat
unique viewpoint for at home user who won't back up.
From a high level view, his comment to them is to NOT run a mirror. His
suggestion to them is to just run a straight drive, then every evening or
downtime, bring the other disk(s) online and sync them with the online master,
using rsync, or your favorite utility, then once the sync is complete, offline
the newly synced data and put it away.
I realize that none of this helps the OP at this point, but this is presented as
food for though, or a directly related item of discussion.
