Scope: I have two discs with 4 TB. One is used as home. I wish to run home on a RAID1. But I have no means to do a backup of all data.
very bad idea. your home content is probably not 4Tb (else the disk would be too small), so backup it *first*
a raid, any raid, is no backup at all. Even, make *two* backups if you home content is of any matter for you!
then back to raid.
I agree with jdd. You can make a backup in the same space as the original simply by using rsync (or make multiple incremental backups in the same space using something like dirvish). That is a much more important and urgent use of your second disk than making a RAID mirror. Please reconsider.
