Why shouldn't it be OK? I mean, you are using softraid, so I guess you
don't have a big server/network.
The problem I am having is that currently all partitions except
/holdingdisk are on the same raid5 (/backup, /, and /data). When doing
backups of /data and / to /backup the server is very slow and
bottle-necked. I think by switching the the above scheme will fix the
problem.
It ll still be a bottleneck if the new disks are softraid again. Try thinking
about a hardware raid controller (not one of the cheap onboard raid which is
handled by the CPU itself). But it is all a thing of what you want to spend
and if it's required. If you just have a few GB to backup every night, it's
surely no big deal. I have to backup ~ 250 GB each night and 750 GB on
complete level 0. For me it's required to ensure that the backup finishes
until next morning.
