It is sometimes safer to have two disks not mounted as a raid, but a backup, updated daily (or as needed) and then umounted. Why? Because if you erase by accident a tree, or a program goes mad, or the kernel crashes, you are not protected by a raid: both copies will go bad at the same time. Raid only protects you from hard disk failure.
I will go along with that. This is what an admin here at work suggested for my home setup. I used to have a soft RAID1 setup on SuSE 9.1 but the admin suggested that I would get slightly better performance without the RAID and I get the advantage you mentioned. The admin suggesting using rsync and that has been working quite well for me.
