That should work - or the similar concept of software raid1 where you 
periodically fail/remove/add a mirror to rotate offsite.  You need a 
disk type that can be hot-swapped (usb, firewire, some SATA, some SCSI).

I think the zfs filesystem with snapshot and incremental send/receive 
capability sounds promising.  I just haven't had time to test it.
