This would be a good job for rsync perhaps....

Is it possible to set up a single disk raid (kind of redundant to call a single disk an array) but I've got a single SATA drive in the machine not doing anything. It's a 10k maxtor 74G drive, and what I really want is just to backup two home partitions. I can always reinstall the OS, but the data can't be recovered that easily. The mobo supports raid-0,1 and jbod. Suggestions?
Really for RAID, you want identical disks. Better solution would be to just archive important data to the drive on a semi-regular basis.
as for raid on just one disk, it's not a belt&suspenders type scenario, it's a "wearing two belts" scenario. There's no real point, because if the drive fails, you're screwed just the same.
