Promise RAID0 to RAID1 conversion?

One of my Raptor 10K drives sounds like it's ready to explode. If I have to
replace it, can I first convert my RAID0 configuration to RAID1, so I can
pull the drive? I don't see any way to do that in FastBuild. I suppose I
could get two replacement drives, setup RAID0+1 and then pull the original
two. That would work, right?

Another possibility is one extra drive to clone your partitions to and
later restore them back. But be fast, if your Raptor fails all data on
the RAID0 will be lost.

As Nanga says: backup first use Ghost or Drive Image, or Backup if it is not
a system volume, but quickly.
