Great idea, if I understand it correctly, iSCSI will allow me to add a harddrive via TCP/IP to my RAID. Sounds nice, but as far as I can see (after a quick research) this will cost arround 700 Eur (ex: Allnet NAS RAID System 5x SATA - ALL6600 iSCSI)? My idea is to use the harddrives we have available after we changed from backing to external harddrives to one backuppc server. Questions: 1) Is is also possible to add a 3rd harddrive via USB or Firewire to the RAID1 and then using your idea to detach and reattach the harddrive? 2) When I attach the harddrive to my RAID 1, is md smart enough to just transfer the changes to the attached drive or will it make a full sync?

That sounds interesting, can you point me to a good place to start reading about how to implement this? Thanks for your helpfull idea using the already available RAID1.
