Jason has been suggesting this, or some other variant of it. With the current problems I'm having, I'll be looking at doing something along these lines once I'm back up and running.

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.
