1. I'm going to go out on a limb here - does it do that after a full backup?

In some systems, the backup process will break the mirror so the backup will work on a single static drive while the other drive remains available for use. When the backup is done it will re-establish the mirror but that requires rebuilding in the same way that replacing a drive would. A degraded status can mean a failed disk or a rebuild in process. Is the RAID software of any help in determining WHICH drive it's complaining about?
