Is This 'Safe'?

Got 2 hard drives in a JBOD (Spanning) setup, Maxtor 160GB + Western Digital 80GB (the latter new). Created a 60GB partition on the 80GB for backups.

Just wondering if that was safe?

In old setup, 160GB SATA + 40GB PATA (IDE or whetva its called) I knew if the 160GB failed my XP & My Documents partitions would remain safely backed-up in the 40GB and I can recover them on any computer apart from mine. Does the new/above setup give me the same guarantee?

In a nutshell, if the Maxtor 160GB fails it takes out the Western Digital 80GB + my Backup partition, despite it being on it?

Any other/better setup you could recommend?
