AFAIK, there's no non-destructive way to create a software RAID array. If
you have several filesystems (like /, /usr, /home, etc.) you could mirror
them in sections by, say, backing up /home, making it a RAID filesystem and
restoring the contents to the newly-created RAID array. You'll probably
still have to reinstall from scratch in order to mirror / though.
