Usually what I've done, is to split the mirror, and then mount the split
plex on a new mount point, like /mnt/backup, then backup that path.

Unfortunately, during a restore, it means everything is relative to that
path.

ie.
/mnt/backup/etc
/mnt/backup/usr
/mnt/backup/var

etc......

The upside is that to restore a machine from scratch, you can add a new
disk to an existing machine...mount the new disk as /mnt/backup, do a
full restore "to original location", and you've got a restored
system.....bit of tweaking to make it bootable, etc.....
