You don't backup your RAID arrays? Yikes! For certain data this would
be fine (data that you can recreate easily) but it sounds like this
isn't the case for you otherwise you'd just wipe the array and recreate
the data. There are other modes of failure than just the drives
themselves (file system corruption for instance) so it is wise to do
backups, even on "redundant" systems.
Good luck,
Steve
