[cobalt-users] Is is possible to "mirror" RAQ2s?

I've had a RAQ2 since January of this year. My main (popular) site went
live on it in March. In april the Hard Drive crashed. Data was lost, but
some recovered. New drive was put in. In June, the second hard drive
crashed. All data lost.
After looking into "affordable" hard drive backup options for the RAQ2, I
discovered there weren't any (correct me if I'm wrong here).
Someone from this list recommend I get 2 RAQ3s and have them mirror each
other or something.
My question is, what can I do with my current RAQ2 to backup the data? Can
I just get a second RAQ2? Can I get a RAQ3 and link it to a RAQ2?
I want to go the cheapest route that allows me to reliable backup data on
my server. That way if I lose a hard drive, I don't lose thousands of
dollars worth of data... but unfortunately, I don't have thousands of
dollars to spend on backing it up... (but I WILL consider a second server
if that's an option... though if you ask me, it seems ridiculous I can't
just hook up a second Hard DRIVE and mirror one drive to the other...)
Thanks in advance!
