The issue is the user data and with what you and others have written, I'm considering doing a local rsync to a second set of mirrored drives already in the box (but as of now disused).

Keep in mind that certain hardware, software, or operator errors (or a building disaster) can wipe out all of the disks at once. A safer approach might be to rsync to external disks that you rotate offsite or to rsync over the network to a different location.

A point I was just discussing with some folks here.  Thanks, Les.
