Why not? If you have backups, it doesn't matter what happens to the RAID
system. :-)
One trick you can use to take more reliable backups is snapshotting the
filesystem. You can do this with RAID by taking a mirror offline and backing
it up, or with more advanced methods such as LVM - it can do this very
neatly, and without a lot of hassle.
