If you are this worried about a rebuild, it sounds like this is the only copy
of your data, and you don't have any backups. Don't rely on RAID to keep your
data safe, strictly speaking it's not for that. (The primary purpose is to
keep systems online and operational during a disk failure).

Make full backups or you will regret sooner or later.
