Hi,

You could simply make ordinary backup of more important data to the 
second disk with cronjob and (for example) rsync or rdiff-backup. I have 
two disks for recordings and music library and I backup music library to 
the second disk occasionally with cronjob as re-ripping it would be huge 
PITA.
