Swap one of the drives out, let the RAID rebuild. Take the one you removed to 
another location.  Now you have a backup.  Repeat with a 4th drive that you 
take 
offsite before bringing the other one back so you never have the whole 
collection in the same place.  Problem solved - unless maybe you need a 
matching 
spare NAS chassis to read the disks.   That's not a issue with software raid 
but 
it might be with a hardware controller.
