1 month ago2 disks in the same machine is not a backup whether the data is copied between them using RAID or rsync or anything else.
Sounds like for this machine, just use the two disks in RAID1, or a ZFS mirror, or something. And figure out something else for backups. Probably a cloud solution.
Also, RAID2 requires a minimum of 3 disks, and is rarely used.

is good for this.https://tldr.sh/
