I have two questions. Firstly, I am considering buying a western digital MyBook Studio Edition II http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=621. If I use time machine with this drive, will I be able to remove one of the drives and keep it off-site for safekeeping and have time machine continue to backup on the remaining one as usual?

Secondly, if i remove drive #2 and keep it off site, would dropping it back into the raid setup update drive #2 with drive #1's current time machine backup?

Thanks, I'm new to raid, and I am basically trying to have a time machine backup, and a off site backup. If there's an easier way to do this, it would be much appreciated
