I'd be more worried about using a RAID-0 device to store my backups:
loose any one disk and the volume is toast, and each disk in the stripe
increases the likelyhood of a failure.  Compared to that, having to configure
a software RAID driver to access a pre-existing volume when rebuilding the
OS on the server is a mere annoyance.
