Thank you John & Carlos, I sounds like I'll just stay with using rsync for now Duaine On 10/28/2011 07:56 PM, Carlos E. R. wrote:

I'm pretty sure there is but I'm asking to make sure ..
I have a live system on sda and currently using rsync to backup to sdb (identical size disk).
Notice that your current procedure is safer than raid.
Also all partitions - including root and boot - are running reiserfs
Can I add RAID 1 on the fly without disturbing my live system ?
I can think of a method, but I can not guarantee that it works.
First you create a degraded raid 1 on the second disk. You copy everything there. Then you repartition the first as raid, and add it. Suggest you create a virtual machine to develop the procedure. Much safer to create a full backup and reinstall.
