[cisco-voip] Backup

[Mike Armstrong]

The "pop it out, pop it in" works as far as the mirror is concerned, but 
there's no guarantee of the popped-out disk's integrity.  If you want to use 
it as a backup, shut the system down first, _then_ pop it out.  Reboot with 
the mirror, then insert the new drive and let the mirror rebuild.  (Same 
procedure you use to provide a reversion disk for an upgrade.)
