What if the snap dies?

I am reconfiguring a 4000 to mirror the drives. I was using raid 5 for security in case one of the drives failed. Then I realized that if the snap itself failed I would be SOL. I can't wait for another good deal on ebay, shipping, etc.

I decided to loose a little usable space and have two sets of mirrors. Again I am wondering what happens if the snap dies?

I understand the snap uses BSD, so I can't slap a drive into an XP machine, or linux for that matter. How do I recover data quickly?

Any Ideas? Any experiences?

Thanks
