Create Raid Mirror on Live Disk - Possible?

I have two matching disks in my G3, one is my boot disk, the other empty.

I'd like to mirror the boot disk for redundancy. Can this be done on the fly to a "live" disk, or will it destroy eveything on the boot when it creates the raidset?

Any info appreciated, thanks!
 
Carbon Copy Cloner would be an excellent choice for a one-time mirror of the drive, but if you want TRUE RAID mirroring, then you'll either have to reformat the drive and make it a part of a mirrored RAID set through Disk Utility, or purchase a PCI ATA RAID card that supports mirroring to put in your system.

I am not sure whether adding a hardware RAID card would require a reformat or not. I would assume that it would not, but am not completely sure.
