I've been trying to think of ways to minimize the down time of the email, and I thought of a situation where the mail store could be stored on a RAID 1 volume and temporarily split while the backup happens.

You have stumbled on a long time technique for obtaining a quiescent filesystem. Congratulations!

Did you try reading the docs?

If anything does something similar to what I would like to do, could you please let me know if it is a workable idea? Thanks.

Any RAID will do, it doesn't matter who makes it or how it operates. If you break a mirror that mirror member should be usable.

Thanks!
